discussion is generally rewarding for students who are more “verbally gifted” inwritten expression and may create advantages for certain groups of students over another onespecifically those whom English is not their first language. Verbal communication is an essentialskill for engineers and the impact of the online discussion on developing communication skillscould be studied in the future research. The strategies and tools discussed in this study could beinspiring for instructors as to how they may repurpose the available resources and learning toolsto maximize their instructional practice. While the approach presented in this study is focusedon using a specific discussion tool, the presented approach can be implemented for other onlinecourses

changes in those courses can impact student learning and retention. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Advancing computational knowledge and skill through computing projects in sophomore-level mechanics coursesAbstractThe desire to graduate students with more advanced computational knowledge has become a hot topic incurriculum design. One route to do that is through integration of computing in the foundational mechanicscourses (statics, dynamics, and solid mechanics). The implementation of computing projects in thesesophomore-level courses has resulted in computing becoming an integral part of those courses at

Design Methodology and Engineering Education. As a member of the Integrated STEM Education Research Center (ISERC) at LaTech, Ethan’s primary research area is engineering design education with a focus on developing prototyping skills through both class-based projects and extra-curricular clubs, competitions, and activities. This includes a focus on hand-drawn sketches and how they are used as tools for generating ideas and visual communication, es- pecially when it involves the skill to generate quick and realistic sketches of an object or idea. He has also conducted research on the impact involvement in academic makerspaces has on students in engineering programs. American
