Similarly, several studies have identified poor timemanagement as a significant common denominator for all under-performing students [6]. Itshould be noted that increased use of technology, especially cell phones, can exacerbate theseissues [7]. In engineering education specifically, poor time management has been identified as acontributing factor to lower levels of retention and persistence [8]. These insights from the research literature have spawned a cottage industry of resourcesto advance how undergraduate students improve their ability to manage their time effectively.Largely based on a training model established by McCay [9], there are
