Due to the numerous challenges facing engineering education, it should be reformed especially in engineering curricula, teaching methods and teachers’ preparation. Regarding the mobile learning innovations and lack of research about its capabilities for facilitating engineering education reform, this paper aims to investigate and synthesize mobile learning potentials to support the reforming process by reviewing existing studies. The reviewed papers were analyzed using theme analysis method. Providing more opportunities to achieve professional skills and improving personal, authentic and collaborative learning activities, enhancing the quality, accessibility and acceptability of learning resources are the main benefits of mobile learning for engineering education.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
