Using Emerging Technologies for Hybrid and Flipped Classroom Learning

I have been teaching the course, Engineering Econom y, at the undergraduate level for engineering students as well as for engineering tec hnology students for over three decades. During the past seven years, I have gradually imple ented the use of various components of elearning into the course. I have started teaching the course in a flipped classroom mode and, as such, I am now able to deliver this course either a s an on-line offering or as a hybrid class. I have also incorporated various forms of technology into the classroom. My course offering is now completely paperless and can be considered to b e at the cutting edge in the application of technology in course delivery. As a result of the hybrid course offering, I meet with the students for one-third of the time only. Although I have ma de the course more rigorous and have reduced the student contact hours, the class cumulative gra de point average has gone up significantly in the last eight years. The failure rate in the clas s has also gone down.
