of individual assessments (points in time) are stated, includingbreadth and depth limitations, coverage limitations, and circumstantial limitations.Since Nyquist-Shannon’s sampling theorem uses ideal sampling to address the question ofsampling frequency, and because ideal sampling is based on the so-called unit impulse function,the widely accepted one-or-two-hour exam is suggested as a practical approximation of the unitimpulse function. Under this assumption, it is argued that an adequately weighted homeworkassignment could also be considered as a practical approximation of the unit impulse function,provided a high ethical standard is adhered to. This brings up the issues of ethics and plagiarismin modern engineering schools, and the need

By its nature,PBL-structured case studies promote learning at the cutting edge of a discipline and thus are well-suited to the emerging NSNT field.A central premise in using the case study technique is that the process of learning is just asimportant as the content [12]. In general, students work cooperatively during case studies to answerchallenging questions or to evaluate complex ethical issues.
