trends such as BIM and green building call for strongcommunication and teamwork skills, capacity to work efficiently within co-located teams andabilities to apply fundamental engineering, management and computer skills in real worldscenarios [13], yet traditional lecture-based pedagogical models are no longer efficient to deliverythese goals. An intrinsic drawback of these models resides in the fact that students are treated aspassive recipients with linear and fragmented teaching presentations, and deprived of theopportunities for learning the holistic nature and broad vision of the architecture, engineering andconstruction (AEC) disciplines [14].In contrast, project-based learning as a proven effective student-centered pedagogical approach[15

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

science of hair. In our first year of the camp, we devised a lesson onrace and hair to help students think about the ways their ancestry and cultural conditioninginfluenced their hair texture and hairstyle choices. We knew the girls would be using an AFMmicroscope as part of the hands-on learning at the camp, thus combining a conversation aboutrace and ancestry with the ability to observe differences in hair under the microscope would helpstudents connect social issues with laboratory methods. As the GAMES girls tend to be abouttwo thirds white, we also thought introducing small group and intergroup interaction would be animportant way to engage on this topic12.We began the lesson, led by Dr. Kathryn Clancy, with a discussion question: What do
