mobile learning are far from being a theoretical possibility. Mobile learning is anon-the-ground reality allowing learners to access educational content, communicate and shareinformation with other learners, and elicit support from peers and instructors. While mobiletechnology is not an educational panacea, it is a powerful tool that can support education in waysnot previously possible10. The use of mobile technologies in education can be used to re-enactapproaches and solutions already used in 'conventional' e-Learning by using mobile technologiesas flexible replacements for desktop technologies11, aiding in the acquisition of knowledgeregardless of location and time12.Materials and Methods LaboratoryBolstered by andragogical studies on adult

dating back to the original edition of the NSC’s Accident PreventionManual3 and the origins of systems engineering of products. Behm4 takes a cautionary approachto promoting PtD in academic programs: “Given that practicing design professionals do notincorporate PtD in their design work, an educational effort aimed at colleges and universitiesmay be ineffective until the industry standards changes to incorporate PtD in practice at somelevel.”Toole5 identified five major tasks performed by civil and construction engineers, and indicatedhow the engineer could increase his role in assuring worker safety: 1. Review for safety (peer review of completed design documents, design reviews within organizations) 2. Create design documents for
