Fig.1 shows anexample of questions and answers (denoted Q/As) from learners (denoted S1 to S4) andteaching staff (denoted T), respectively. For instance, there may be a volley of answersfor Q3 if it is assumed to be of the highest priority at a certain time during the process oflectures/seminars. It is more effective to timely enhance dynamics between learners andteaching staff by making the usage of shared space mobile Q/A integration. It is alsopossible for any S to get an answer for each question uploaded if it can be found andmatched in the knowledge

These descriptions, justificationsand evidence are gained through thinking, in a reflective manner, about the ramifications of whatthe students are designing to solve the problem(s) presented by the project client.Research MethodologyA weekly reflective journal assignment was given to approximately 50 students during each ofour fall and spring semesters, using a template containing sixteen rows and three columns. Eachrow corresponded to a specific week in the semester. The columns contained responses to thesequestions: What did you learn? Why is it important? Where else could you use it? During eachweek, students identified a specific skill, concept or insight that they learned

Project-based design courses have been shown to have positive impacton professional skills post-graduation3. However, such courses occur at the end of thecurriculum and the ability to study the impact on the curriculum as a whole is not possible.Oregon State University demonstrated the use and benefits of a robotics project-based courseearly in an electrical engineering curriculum4,5 with the TekBot platform.
