contribution described the challenges for mentoring in academicengineering departments, among which faculty role strain takes precedence (Bowen & Sosa,1989; Boyer, 1990; Fairweather, 1996; Geisler & Rubenstein, 1989). Saliently, this very concernrenders research centers into favorable environments for mentoring (Bozeman & Boardman,2003), as their non-faculty research staff – who typically have lower teaching and administrativeworkloads than faculty – can be leveraged to increase the amount and frequency of student-mentor non-classroom contact, which has been reported to enhance student retention (Pascarella,Terenzini, & Feldman, 1991). The latter, along with the fact that literature is lacking in terms ofthe potential benefits of

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

recording of protocols and progress has been done via paper labnotebooks. With the popularity of the internet, many have been turning to electronicmeans to record their study data, though this does not imply that paper lab notebookshave been completely abandoned. In the beginning, many were making use of tools notnecessarily created for the sole use in laboratories, such as Microsoft Word, Evernote,Google Docs, or other means of recording notes online and/or via a computer.However, there proved to be a market for products used especially by those doingresearch on scientific fields and thus the electronic lab notebook was born.

would be “incredibly helpful”.AE scholars also use a wide variety of tools and platforms for sharing research data. Manyfaculty think of the published thesis or journal article as the public sharing of data. However,internally, data is shared through local tools like emails and shared laboratory disc drives. Datathat is not sensitive is shared through document sharing platforms like Microsoft OneDrive,Dropbox, and Google Drive. Services like QNAP's Network Attached Storage (NAS) are alsoused for backup, storage, and transferring large data. Although sharing data internally wasgenerally not considered a challenge by most respondents, getting large amounts of simulationdata from one place to another was a problem.
