REMODELING CLASS PREPARATION ACTIVITIES TO LEVERAGE TECHNOLOGY Christian Dietz1 Dennis Sugrue2 Engineering instructors should pursue creative ways to promote preparation prior to class to include videos,reading, as well as analyzing charts and figures. At the U.S. Military Academy, instructors of EnvironmentalDecision Making (EV450) used a series of class preparation exercises to achieve this goal. The cadet curriculum isdemanding and motivating cadets to prepare for ungraded events can be a challenge. Students were given a 5-pointassignment before half of all lessons throughout the semester. Utilizing Blackboard Learn® as the delivery method,students were given three questions
