This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)This engineering education award to the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University will develop innovative new graduate degree programs in mechanical engineering that are customized to the needs and strengths of veterans. A particular emphasis will be including research experiences and industrial internships within the degree program. The results will also be presented on the web, at technical conferences and published in professional journals. The project is expected to assist the transition of veterans to civilian life and to enhance the number of students who complete engineering degrees and are ready to fill engineering jobs or start new high tech businesses.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该工程教育奖授予弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学，将根据退伍军人的需求和优势开发创新的机械工程研究生学位课程。 一个特别的重点将包括学位课程内的研究经验和工业实习。 研究结果还将在网络、技术会议上公布，并在专业期刊上发表。该项目预计将帮助退伍军人过渡到平民生活，并增加完成工程学位并准备填补工程工作或开办新的高科技企业的学生人数。
