Based on a ten (10) week quarter system, studentswould receive a total of one-hundred eighty (180) hours of instruction. Similar to coursesoffered through an architecture program, their concept was teach each course in a dedicatedspace equipped with models, samples, contracts, marketing documents, specifications, estimatingguides, computer references, and other tools appropriate to that construction industry sector.

often expected to drive theconstruction industry into the future. As educators, it is our job to help prepare students for thisrole by providing them with opportunities to use mobile technologies in ways that allow them toenvision the future. The department of construction management at Boise State University istrying to lead the way and, following this study, began incorporating mobile devices into sevendifferent construction management courses. While it is a challenge for faculty to effectively usethe devices for teaching and learning, both in and outside the classroom, this is an important steptoward ensuring that our students are prepared to be technology leaders in the future constructionindustry.AcknowledgementsThis project was supported
