A faculty member’s work, whether they are early careeror at a later stage in their academic career, can fall into a reactive mode, rather than anintentional and proactive mode that supports one’s goals. In other words, one can becomecaught up in the day-to-day series of tasks, many of them calling for one’s immediate attentionand time, and delaying progress on long-term goals and complex projects.This paper presents a holistic framework that helps one make time management decisions andwork towards

Students are then given multiple in-class design challenges and out-of-class projects to provide them with opportunities to act on these skills and reflect on their process to improve for the next design activity. The first year engineering course is worth 3.5 credits each semester and has 3 2-hour sessions. Class sessions use a studio model of instruction and encourage peer instruction in teams for every class session. The "context" for the course is to prepare students for their academic and professional engineering careers. This means developing skills in innovative design, computational modeling/analysis, project management and teaming. Engineering students

They have already learned howto write in a new context when they began their professional careers and continued this learningprocess as they needed to produce different types of documents, either in a new position in thesame company or after moving to other employment. The amount of time they devote to writingat work is substantial and rises as engineers move up the corporate ladder.29 Thus, they may havemore “cultural capital” (similar to the previously mentioned “experience capital”) on which todraw in the transfer process than their classmates
