Abstract

Increasing student motivation and engagement in classroom (and during the study in general) is the aim of every lecturer. Never stopping development of new digital tools and media present a new challenge in the educational process. The goal of this research is to increase the knowledge and understanding of the influence of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) approach (and use of the mobile devices in classrooms in general) on: teachers’ practice and students’ classroom activities, students’ attitude about bringing the mobile phones in the class and mobile phone applications in education processes. This research focuses on undergraduate and postgraduate mechanical engineering students. Personal reflection of the lecturers and online survey for students was used as a tool to investigate participants’ attitude towards mobile applications as a method of promotion of active learning in engineering education.
