This engineering education research project will create a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering program for military veterans supported by the Post 9/11 GI Bill. To address veterans' needs the project will create a start-to-finish, high quality 36-month accelerated course of study. Key elements of the proposed program are focused recruiting strategies with broad accessibility of program information, considering veterans' life experience, and creation of an intensive math bridge program with an on-line tutoring component to help retain students in the program.The broader significance and importance of this project will be to address a specific, targeted group of veterans, and get them quickly into the engineering workforce. The lessons learned from this program will inform the education community's knowledge-base on effective methods to structure programs so that veteran students have a high chance to succeed in engineering degree programs. The project specifically addresses skills in mathematics, which often present obstacles to degree completion.

这个工程教育研究项目将为退伍军人创建一个电气工程理学学士学位，该项目由9/11后GI法案支持。 为了满足退伍军人的需求，该项目将创建一个从开始到结束，高质量的36个月的加速学习课程。 该计划的关键要素是有针对性的招聘策略，广泛获取计划信息，考虑退伍军人的生活经验，并创建一个密集的数学桥梁计划，包括在线辅导组件，以帮助留住学生在该计划中。该项目的更广泛的意义和重要性将是针对特定的目标群体退伍军人，并让他们迅速进入工程劳动力。 从该计划中吸取的经验教训将告知教育界的知识基础，以有效的方法来构建计划，使资深学生有很高的机会在工程学位课程中取得成功。 该项目专门针对数学技能，这往往是完成学位的障碍。
