The course originated more than 20 years ago andhas always required that students complete a series of open-ended projects related to the requiredjunior level coursework. There is no lecture, other than for organization, and the class meetsonce a week as a way to more formally answer questions and provide support for studentsworking on projects. Over the years the number of projects and the nature of the projects hasvaried. Over the past five years the course has been restructured so as to satisfy three objectives: 1. The course provides a mechanism whereby students can complete laboratory exercises that reinforce the theoretical material learned in the junior year. This includes the areas of

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

emphasizes the underlying RATMCU instruction formats by having students disassemble machine code. The next threeexperiments involve the design of the RAT MCU’s program counter, memories (register file andscratch RAM), and ALU. The following three experiments incrementally assemble the RATMCU into a working computer in three stages: 1) a working computer with five instructions, 2) aworking computer with no interrupt capability, and, 3) the completed RAT MCU. The final twoexperiments involve the use of interrupts and interfacing with an external timer module. Thefinal laboratory experience requires students to use their RAT MCUs to implement a project oftheir choosing in order to learn assembly language programming practices associated withrelatively

Theyfound that the “technology can have a profound impact on learning if it is used in a way thatcapitalizes on its unique ability to “interact” with students, provide them with immediatefeedback, and facilitate interactions among students and between students and teaching staff.”They did not have a way to make direct comparisons with conventional hand-graded HW,however.Pascarella6 looked at learning styles of students in large introductory physics classes and howthose learning styles and associated solution strategies for HW problems were related to HWproblem format.

For example: “…I learned several techniques that were instrumental techniques, … analysis techniques…” (M-ENG) “I changed fields when I started my postdoc. So I’ve had to learn a completely new set of experimental techniques and laboratory skills and those kinds of things that I didn’t have before.” (M-SCI)When describing the professional skills they learned, they mentioned improving theircommunication and writing skills, and teamwork/collaboration skills, as well as their abilities tomentor and work with students.Another benefit of a postdoc position was being able to focus on research and
