Therefore, we are concernedwith our students whether they are copying the homework solutions available in internet and/orother sources. This has become especially evident when a student gets a perfect or near perfectoverall score for their homework grade, yet their test scores are very low. A study by Wichita StateUniversity [3] mentions that approximately 70% of students in the U.S. were involved directly orindirectly in cheating during exams, homework, term projects, reports, papers and presentationsusing different techniques.

University is unique in that in spans over the course of a five-year period, with students working at two to three co-operative education jobs throughout their academictenure. The benefit of co-op, however, causes complications in the development of course structure asstudents theoretically begin their academic career requiring a more pedagogical (instructive) approach tolearning and leave with a more andragogical (self-directed) approach –or they are at the bridging stage inbetween these two points4. Essentially, this implies that the teaching techniques used in the classroomshould evolve concurrently with students’ academic and professional maturation and in accordance withtheir general learning styles and perferences.This research project

Although the systems in place that run manyengineering colleges around the country work fairly well for the traditional engineering student –the teenager who shows up on campus ready to dedicate the next four years of their lives toschool, a chunk of undergraduates in commuter schools, such as SJSU, do not fit this profile.These students are juggling classes and a job or family or both.

In fact, modern expectancy-value theories argue that individuals' choice, persistenceand performance can be explained by their beliefs about how well they will do on the activityand the extent to which they value the activity [9, 10]. For example, a student chooses to engagewith different course materials because they believe it will increase their performance or overallunderstanding. Likewise, interest in a topic and empowerment to make choices in their learningengagement can determine whether or not a student performs well in a course.
