Abstract

Electronics and communication and manufacturing technology are gaining much importance in the new millennium. The advents in electronics and communication technologies have been offering inexpensive, more convenient and more functionality in a single device. The engineering students and teachers can access data and communicate with each other anytime, anywhere, on any device, and any data and network. The researcher has to implement new technology, new ideas, and innovations in the research area of wireless communication and wireless networks. In wireless and mobile communication, to develop these engineering laboratories into virtual labs and study materials in hand (within a Pocket). This research is focused on and related to engineering education research. The quasi-experimental design has been used in this research study to measure the effectiveness of mobile learning using video lessons in engineering education. The questionnaire is used to evaluate the effectiveness of mobile learning for undergraduate engineering students. This paper describes the main study of the research results shows that 506 students of second year engineering students of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), Electronics and Communication (ECE), and Bio- Medical Engineering (BME) in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India their usage of wireless communication technology in mobile learning using video lessons. The video lessons used for this study are Electromagnetism which is common for EEE and ECE and Electrocardiography is common for BME and ECE. During the study smart phones, mobile phones and wireless devices, tablet pc, personal digital assistants, etc are used and the duration of the video lesson is 30 minutes. These video lessons can be transmitted using Bluetooth technology in the classroom, library, and corridors during the free hours.
