has afforded us theopportunity to improve the user experience in virtual learning design. In addition to a steadyincrease in distance education enrollment since 2012 [1], online engineering education isgrowing as more people gravitate towards flexible and accessible degree options. In an onlineasynchronous environment, instructor-student and student-student interactions must be integratedinto the course design. Furthermore, instructors must look to other mediums for feedback on thelearning experience than the standard look across the room at students’ faces [2]. Despite suchchallenges, many institutions have successfully built and grown online courses and degrees [3].Some institutions (e.g., Purdue University [4], UMBC [5], University of

?Cognitive Load TheoryCognitive Load Theory (CLT) characterizes learning as assimilation of knowledge into one’slong-term memory. However, it is our short-term (working) memory that first processesinformation. If the cognitive load (or mental effort) associated with a task exceeds short-termprocessing capacity, then learning cannot occur [1, 2]. Three sources of cognitive load canimpact learners [1-4]. Intrinsic cognitive load is the effort required to learn a specific topic. Forexample, the mental effort required to learn in an introductory engineering course may be lowerthan that required to learn in an engineering science or design-based course. Extraneouscognitive load is experienced based on inappropriate methods or excess information that

Faculty found themselves rapidly moving to online instruction inthe middle of the semester [1]. The continued use of online education in the 2020-2021 academicyear meant faculty not only had to finish out the spring 2020 semester online but had to investadditional time in learning new pedagogy and technology in order to significantly revise theircourses to be delivered entirely in an online format.

They mustcommunicate to their employer, their team, their customers, and a range of other audiences.They must communicate clearly in both technical (e.g. reports) and professional (e.g. emails)areas. While most engineering schools offer excellent technical communication curriculums,many schools presume that education in professional communication skills are handled by theEnglish department or developed naturally.Professional communication development should be a central component in our engineeringprograms [1

It is well-known that students and professionals in STEM careers in the USA do not reflect the generalpopulation of the country [1]. For example, white men make up 31.6% of the general populationwhile they make up 51% of scientists and engineers. Black men make up 6% of the populationand 3% of the STEM workforce. The percentage of non-white and non-Asian people in the USAis 31.3% while the percentage of this sub-population working in STEM is just 12%. In
