Can gaming take too much time away from engineering study?
Yes. Gaming can affect engineering study if it takes time away from studying, sleep, or completing assignments. The type and amount of work needed outside class vary by course and other circumstances, but gaming does not necessarily cause problems when academic plans are prioritized and play time is limited as a form of relaxation.
Key points
- Avoid gaming patterns that reduce study time or sleep, or delay assignments.
- Check academic plans first and set a limit on gaming time.
- Work needed outside class varies by course and other circumstances.
Things to check
- The amount of study and assignment work varies by university, department, year, course, and individual student.
