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.

这个工程教育研究项目将支持政府，工业和学术界高层决策者的研讨会，探讨如何调整各群体的利益，以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，并产生几份有助于指导未来政策的存档立场文件。该项目的更广泛意义和重要性来自于对工程和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一致性，可能有办法提高国家的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，即通过准备一支具有新能力和专业知识的工程队伍来改变前沿。 此外，NSF为社会创新的目标是通过为教育政策和实践提供信息来创造对社会有用的结果和研究。
