solution manuals available whencompleting the homework9. Further, Passow et al. have shown that the decision to cheat or notcan vary depending on the type of assessment11 (homework vs. exam). In general terms, studentsare more likely to cheat on a homework assignment than on an exam. Passow et al. have alsosuggested that students who cheat on homework in their first years of college withoutconsequence may develop skills to allow them to continue to cheat, and on higher-riskassessments such as tests, as they progress through school.Certainly the issue of academic misconduct extends beyond a single course, but due to itsprevalence on homework, impact on learning, and ethical implications it deserves attention inoverall course design.

Hands-on projectThe added hands-on project consists in basic laboratories to design and test an injection plasticmold. The activities will be carried out in groups of three students. Although there are severalpublications from previous ASEE Conferences related to capstone projects3 and Machine Designcourses4, this publication differs in that this work proposes a new

implies consistency across multiple courses, larger course sizes and different subject types,such as Math or Ethics, are needed to validate the preliminary findings and the proposedapproach. Looking farther into the future, research involving this approach as a tutoring style couldbe beneficial for students who are struggling in a traditionally implemented course. Conversely,for implementing this method, resources such as trained tutors can offer a different teachingstyle, online references and homework, or in-class exercises can be used to supplement thispedagogy in order to provide assurance that every possibility of education has been met.

entirety of theproject, presentations and technical journals for which each member could write down theircontributions were used to check progress of the system development. The technical journalsacted as documentation so that the work of each individual could be observed and be replicated.Proper management enables the group to submit all necessary work on time and illustrates thenecessity of maintaining professional work ethic. This further ensured that the group wouldremain focused and on schedule to finish the ball-and-plate system.This project requires major technical disciplines of mechatronics engineering: structure andmechanism, sensors and data acquisition, actuators and controller, and computer hardware andsoftware.
