Based on in-depth qualitative interviews with student veterans in the United States pursuing Bachelor's degrees in engineering across four institutions, we present findings relating military leadership and its application to engineering education. Our findings address three themes: (1) how leadership skills are learned, (2) motivation to be a leader, and (3) translation into, and enactment of military leadership skills in, engineering education. The interviews show that leadership skills and experiences acquired in the military play an important role in the academic experiences and success of student veterans in engineering (SVEs). Findings can help inform strategies and programs to encourage more SVEs to translate their leadership skills to an academic setting in an asset-based framework. Providing leadership opportunities for SVEs in the classroom has the potential to increase their engagement in engineering, strengthen their pathways to professional engineering practice, and provide important role models of servant leadership for the other engineering undergraduates who work with them.
