However, itwas the rise of mobile devices what pushed new dynamics at the classroom which werepreviously inconceivable, modifying the way of both teaching and learning, especially at K12level. Actual mobile devices give the flexibility and the easy-to-use requirements one-to-oneand group interactions always dreamed by teaching innovators. Authors like Murray andOlcese18 link the collaborative possibilities offered by the iPad with the competences neededby students this century, emphasizing the need to use modern learning models. By contrast,technological tools have usually been used in simulation environments, laboratory practicesor as basic tools for creating either work or reports in higher education, regardless the

of coal plants in the U.S. is influenced by both free market and regulatorymotivations. Coal power continues as cheap electricity generation drives high profits, whileregulatory issues impede improvements and innovation. In the near future, coal will remain a keyenergy source. Thus, the next generation of graduates will need to address these problems.Eventually, coal plants do retire, and given the difficulty of alternative energy sources to meetbaseload demand for power, coupled with the need for cleaner energy, innovation in coal poweris a critical problem for the next generation of engineering and technology graduates to address.

A second innovative approach was to form student teams to work directly withfaculty researchers on current research projects. Faculty presented their research projects andstudents selected those that they would like to work on. Although faculty research does nottraditionally employ first year students, this approach set out to raise awareness of currentresearch and engage the students for future involvement in research projects.The results of both approaches provide the basis of this paper.
