Rapid development of information technology (IT) meant that efforts to combine IT with education have become the future trend of teaching activities while mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet computers have become increasingly ubiquitous. Students not only read from textbooks in classroom settings, action-based learning is also becoming a growing trend in pedagogy. Many APPs on Google Play have been designed for students of mechanical engineering, and these APPs were downloaded and reviewed according to the revised Bloom cognitive domain and five areas of mechanical engineering so that students could choose a suitable APP according to their abilities and reduce the time used when looking for APPs on their own to improve learning efficiency.
