The students were engaged in the learning and application processes across the subject areas working effectively with their teachers.One of the major points of interest in the article is that students should be engaged in their engineering course work and that students should have fun. The article explains the importance in utilizing technology in every aspect of teaching in the classroom from tests and quizzes to group projects. The article also gives examples of students who have taken a high interest in technology due to their level of excitement, and have incorporated it into their daily lives. Students are taking the time on the weekends to develop concepts to implement engineering principles and practices. Students who are excited about technology spend more time utilizing it and therefore become better practicioners.
