Due to the sudden impact of the coronavirus (Covid-19) on education, the importance of mobile devices for communicating with teachers and students has risen to a new level of prominence. The Web of Science and Scopus databases were used to conduct a systematic review of the research on mobile collaborative learning in engineering education. The purpose of this review is to ascertain the degree to which research on mobile collaborative learning has been conducted in the field of engineering education between 2010 and 2020. A total of 48 articles were reviewed to ascertain the research methodologies and area of study, as well as to provide an updated review of studies on mobile collaborative applications, particularly in the field of engineering education. Among the most significant findings is that the majority of publications make use of augmented reality and mobile application development. According to the review, the majority of studies were conducted in the fields of computer sciences, electronic engineering, and artificial intelligence.

Purpose of the study: The growing emphasis on incorporating sustainability concepts in tertiary education have lead higher education institutions in developing countries to infuse sustainability content into their curricula.  The wider purpose of this study is to promote the integration of sustainability concepts within Sri Lankan Universities. The study uncover and presents the perception of university academics on integrating sustainability in higher education. Methodology: An online-survey was carried out in the month of January, 2019 in University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka across four faculties; engineering, architecture, information and technology and business. A descriptive analysis was employed to present the perceptions of the respondents according to different faculties. The obtained data were analyzed using Microsoft excel.  Main Findings: Results revealed, 46.93% have already integrated sustainability concepts while 59.18% are willing to integrate in near future. 80% have perceived that university curriculum should improve according to country’s need while providing particular trainings. 60% felt that knowledge and skills on ICT should be developed and adequate human resources should be deployed prior to incorporate sustainability concepts. Applications of this study: This study is aimed to identify models for mainstreaming sustainability concepts across tertiary education in Sri Lanka. Novelty/Originality of this study: Analysing the perception of univeristiy lecturers on incorporating sustainability concepts acroos university curricular, has never conducted in a Sri Lankan university. This is manily conducted to identify the gaps pertaining on intergrating sustainability concepts across university curricular and to identify the barriers exciting for education for sustainable development in Sri Lankan context.
