In this paper, we arguethat industry can conversely benefit engineering education in how technologyis applied for sharing knowledge within and beyond the boundaries of theorganization. The airline industry in particular is an area that demonstrateshow knowledge sharing experiences can be enabled through the use of mobilecomputing innovations in the field. Global competition requires firms torapidly and effectively develop and share knowledge. Knowledge and learningenabled through the use of advanced technologies are, therefore, among themost critical organizational assets for achieving and maintaining competitiveadvantage.Drawing from the literature streams of knowledge sharing, social learningtheory, and IT mobility, this

Innovation inpedagogy, refined curriculum and much research into the science of teaching andlearning is hoped to promote a knowledge economy. In recent years the Irisheducation systems have been particularly proactive in the area of technologyeducation. Four new subjects were drafted at Senior Cycle level, all with a commonphilosophy grounded in design and technology. This clear shift in focus from thetraditional craft based subjects to a more

, active learner presence is a pillar of education [1].Use of technology that takes away from intellectual presence of the student and/or professorshould be avoided. A simple example would be a difficult-to-read font on a lecture slide. A morecomplicated example would be requiring that students use their phones or laptops for theduration of class. While there is obvious educational potential, the distractions could outweighthe risks (especially in introductory classes where most students are younger and accustomed topublic K-12 style classes) [2]. However, in an upper-division course, that kind of multitaskingcan be good practice for career.Student PerceptionThe student’s perception of a university and the perceived quality of their education will
