their effects continues to grow. Furthermore, thenature and complexity of emergency management has grown significantly in the past decade.During the Spring of 2010, JSU’s Technology Department was selected to receive a grant fromthe US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for establishing an Emergency ManagementTechnology (EMT) program. The establishment of this EMT program has met the increasedstudent and community demands.The undergraduate Technology curricula at JSU are designed to prepare students to work in awide range of industries, giving them a broad base upon which they can build, with subsequenteducation and training, to meet industry-specific needs. The EMT Program at Jackson StateUniversity is an interdisciplinary venture that

-credit electric circuit analysis course, the topical content (coveringboth DC and AC circuits) remained the same. Previously, it was taught in a single section of fourlectures per week, with typical enrollments of 80-100 students per semester. In the blendedlearning implementation, there is a single section with two lectures per week (Monday and Page 24.574.2Wednesday), and two collaborative active learning sessions per week (Tuesday and Thursday).The reduction from four to two lectures per week necessitates streamlining of lecture content.Examples that were previously worked by the instructor during lecture (and easily forgotten by alarge
