One of the more recent publications shows the Chemistrydepartment at Fairfield University successfully implementing a cloud-based and smartphone-based digital electronic notebook using Evernote software [4]. However, very few articles havebeen found implementing an electronic lab notebook in an engineering undergraduate course.Harvey Mudd College compared paper and electronic notebook usage in their undergraduateexperimental engineering course, which covers multiple engineering disciplines [5].

Moreover, the scenario-based videos were limited in scope toa single course in a single engineering discipline which restricted their overall utility across thecurriculum. Recent observations by the authors and input from current undergraduate studentsidentified new scenarios that needed to be addressed, including cheating in laboratory courses,cheating in project-based courses, and cheating on exams. Student Conduct professionals furtheroffered suggestions on the commentary provided by the video’s narrator to establish context forthe scenarios. This work in progress presents the updated set of
