Abstract
Disruptive innovation technologies have made their way in the field of academia during the past few years. A plethora of literature exists investigating the applications of various disruptive technologies in the field of engineering education. The directions for future research however are still obscured by the copious amount of literature having split opinions and conflicting results which necessitates a review of current state of the research. This paper clarifies the underlying concept of the theory. The authors then critique and summarize the research on present state of implementation mainly focusing on the field of engineering education. The future scope for the research is also discussed keeping in the mind the upcoming new technologies such as mobilecomputing, wearable technologiesand internet of things combined with machine learning.
