This engineering education research project will support a workshop for high level decision makers across the government, industry, and academia to explore how to align the interests of various groups to help veterans transition from military service into careers in engineering. The workshop will widely communicate the outcomes to policy makers across organizations and produce several archival position papers that can help guide future policy.The broader significance and importance of this project arises from the potential impact on the engineering and STEM workforce. By seeking alignment between military service and academic course work, there may be ways to boost the nation's STEM workforce while drawing on the talent pool represented by veterans. This project overlaps with NSF's strategic goals of transforming the frontiers through preparation of an engineering workforce with new capabilities and expertise. Additionally NSF's goal of innovating for society is enabled by creating results and research that are useful for society by informing educational policy and practices.

该工程教育研究项目将为政府、工业界和学术界的高层决策者举办研讨会，探讨如何协调不同群体的利益，帮助退伍军人从兵役过渡到工程职业。 该研讨会将向各组织的政策制定者广泛传达成果，并制作几份有助于指导未来政策的档案立场文件。该项目的更广泛意义和重要性源于对工程和 STEM 劳动力的潜在影响。 通过寻求兵役和学术课程工作之间的协调，可能有办法增强国家的 STEM 劳动力，同时利用以退伍军人为代表的人才库。 该项目与 NSF 的战略目标重叠，即通过培养具有新能力和专业知识的工程队伍来改变前沿。 此外，NSF 的社会创新目标是通过为教育政策和实践提供信息，创造对社会有用的成果和研究来实现的。
