Abstract
Time management is one of the most important factors affecting the learning process and outcome. The purpose of this study aims to explore the time management behaviors and attitudes of undergraduate industrial design students. The study applied a time management questionnaire to 646 students, ranging from sophomores to seniors, from seven universities in Taiwan. The findings are summarized as follows: 1) Most students recognize the importance and effectiveness of time management. 2) Most students are dissatisfied with the time management and methods used. 3) Female students have better planning and control of time than male students. 4) Degree of time management increases along with school year increment, however the ratio of completing tasks on time declines accordingly.
