Abstract

ABSTRACTPersonal information management (PIM) includes the activities and preferences that support future information use. PIM is especially important in the context of engineering education, where learners are expected to engage with a substantial amount of information. This paper builds on the findings of a research project on the information practices of undergraduate engineering students, examined through multiple qualitative and quantitative methods (Dodson, 2021). This paper reports on one aspect of the project, an online questionnaire (n = 103). Findings suggest learners regularly engage in PIM activities, and experience different degrees of challenge when managing multiple types of information.
