The course was certifiedas Communication-Intensive through the campus-wide Communications across the Curriculum(CxC) program, meaning that, in addition to engineering content, the course focused oncommunication in two modes: written and visual.For most engineering students, the financial commitment required for participation hinged uponreceiving curricula credit. At our institution, the natural avenue for opening this opportunity to abroader pool of students was the required course, ENGL 2000: English Composition, whichfocuses on writing in a variety of genres, with an emphasis on research and argumentation.As a result of this challenge, a pilot section of English 2000 was developed. Because of limitedtravel funds, the English instructor, who shared an appointment with the College of Engineeringthrough the CxC program, remained on campus. The English 2000 section was designed to runconcurrently with IE 4785, and was taught online using MoodleTM, Adobe ConnectTM,GoToMeetingTM, and SkypeTM.This paper details the advanced preparation required and the methods used to teach thesecourses, as well as preliminary assessments of the pilot section of English 2000.
