Computer Science and Engineering CurriculumAbstractThe area of Mobile Computing has been growing tremendously in recent years. A major aspectof this growth has been the addition of networking technologies, operating systems, and databasemanagement systems to mobile devices. Today, mobile devices might be one of the mostpervasive pieces of electronic equipment in our society. A recent study has estimated the totalnumber of subscribers of mobile phones in the world to be three billion. As the use of mobiledevices within society is quickly expanding, mobile learning (m-learning) has emerged as apotential educational environment to support learning. Mobile devices can be integrated intoclassroom teaching to promote
