Mobile technologies in engineering education

Mobile devices are emerging technologies that are being integrated into Engineering Education. They not only allow learning anytime and anywhere but also use everyday-life resources in the teaching-learning process. Education based on mobile devices is called mobile-learning or m-learning. This paper proposes a set of m-learning practices for subjects of the curricular areas (Basic Sciences, Basic Technologies, Applied Technologies and Complementary Training) included in engineering degree programmes. Such practices are designed using MADE-mlearn - a formal framework for the analysis, design and evaluation of m-learning experiences-, and involve different types of interaction. M-learning collaborative practices stand out among them.
