The findingsrevealed that mobile technology applications positively impact the learning process. Fabian,Topping, and Barron [2] explored the effects of mobile technology on the attitudes andachievements of 52 elementary school students. They found that mobile technology results inpositive student responses, improving their performance. Yussop, Annamalai, and Salam [3]investigated to find out the effectiveness of a particular mobile application. They found that byusing the app, students

Students who opt into the study will also have theirteam adjustment grades analyzed at the end of the semester to see if there is any correlationbetween a student’s belief about teams and how they perform on a team, as well as to see theirinsights-based teamwork before and after the class project. A copy of the survey can be seen inAppendix B. In future semesters the author plans to have the boardgame utilized in somesections of EDSGN 100, while only using a standard lesson on teaming in others. This will allowa comparison on the effectiveness of the boardgame in terms of how they write their teamcontract, and how they feel they performed as a team.DiscussionTeamwork is an essential component of engineering due
indicatedthat they strongly preferred a traditional structure (65%) over a flipped structure (13%) eventhough the videos were identical and the class structure was very similar to the first instructor’sclass. The third instructor’s students also preferred the traditional structure, but not sodramatically. For the instructor whose students preferred the flipped structure, we learned thatSTEM majors tended to prefer the flipped structure more than non-STEM majors, and studentsinvolved in extracurricular activities also tended to prefer the flipped structure. Gender did notaffect students’ preference for the flipped structure, and finally, students who anticipated gettingan A or B in the class tended to prefer the flipped structure.IntroductionFlipped

All comments from the six PBL offerings of the coursethat specifically addressed the project were compiled and are presented in Appendix B. Mostcomments were favorable (14) though negative comments about the project-based model werealso made (3). General themes from favorable comments included: • student appreciation for intermediate project deliverables as a means to receive feedback and remain on track • a course structure that facilitated real-world connections and provided practical knowledge students perceived as useful to their future coursework or career • a reduction in the
