    This document discusses a college student's research paper topic on how smartphones affect college students. It provides background on the student's interest in the topic as an electrical engineering major and college student. It also outlines some initial findings from the research, including a Swedish study that found smartphones helped with group project communication and a smartphone-based class that students reported was more helpful than traditional learning. The student feels their inquiry question is broad enough to find information but narrow enough to write a focused paper, and they do not plan to change their research topic.

    1. How do smart phones affect college students?

    2. How do college students use smart phones? What percent of college students have smart
    phones? Are professors in favor of this technology in the classroom? How can smart phones
    help college students with learning? How can smart phones hinder a college student from
    learning? Would some smart phones be more helpful than others? Are smart phones too
    distracting to be used as a learning device? Are there classes designed around learning with
    smart phone technology? Will smart phones continue to be more involved in the classroom?
    Why are smart phones preferred over the previous technologies?

    3. Starting out I didn't really know how smart phones help college students I just assumed they
    helped with having access to the internet where ever they are. I did however know that smart
    phones are very distracting so that is how they hinder students ability to learn. I chose this
    because I am currently majoring in electrical engineering so anything with technology is really
    interesting to me. I chose to focus on college students because I am a college student right now
    so it is interesting to research something that involves me directly.

    4. So far I know that there was a study on this in Sweden and it resulted in the smart phones being
    very effective in assisting the student's learning. They were especially helpful in communication
    during group projects. The teams were able to get a hold of each other a lot easier and workout
    who is responsible for what in the project. They even studied how students felt about a smart
    phone based class where the class is designed so that the students have to use their smart
    phones to learn. By the end of this course, most students ended up saying that it was more
    helpful than traditional learning styles were. At this point in time, I feel like my inquiry question
    is broad enough to find a lot of information on but narrow enough to write a well focused
    research paper. I do not plan on changing my research topic at all.
