For example, does using atextbook solution manual when completing a graded homework assignment constitute cheating?The previous study found that most students do not consider this to be cheating except in theextreme case of plagiarism where the solution is copied completely.1 If instructors disagree withthis opinion, now that so many more students have access to the solution manual they need tovery clearly communicate this to

A typical team may have three engineers from different departments (perhaps two undergraduates and a graduate student), an undergraduate industrial design student, and a graduate student in the English Department’s Professional Writing program. We have also had architecture students, art students, Human-Computer Interaction Institute students, and business majors in the class.

indicates that Mechanical Engineering students have unprecedented accessto textbook solutions manuals, and possibly a large percentage of students regularly refer to thesemanuals when working graded homework assignments. Many faculty voice concerns regardingthe ethics of this behavior and its affect on student learning; however, the prevalence of thesolutions manual usage and its effects on learning are not well documented. To better understandhow students use solutions manuals, a survey was submitted to undergraduate students andfaculty of the Mechanical Engineering Department at California Polytechnic State University,San Luis Obispo, as part of a larger study on the effects of solution manual access on studentlearning.

These degrees have slightly different learning goals. In order to award allthree degrees, the university needs to assess and assure that the learning goals are achieved.How can this be monitored, and is it even possible? Some previous publications [3, 4] suggestthat it is possible but requires a lot of effort in adapting program goals to course goals andensuring a high standard in the curriculum
