may have heard of frequently, may even fear violating, butmany students fail to integrate the underlying values and purposes of abiding by academicintegrity within their own lives. The debate over whether academic dishonesty is on the rise orwhether technology has altered the way that violations appear is ongoing; however, what isimperative is that engineering educators begin to work to integrate this crucial aspect of one’seducation into the objectives of their courses. Students need to learn that academic honesty is acritical part of their educational endeavors and that their future work as an engineer is dependentupon the professional ethics that they must uphold.There are many types of academic integrity violations, ranging from minor to

graduate attributes. The accreditation units correspondto types of content and are categorized in a high level manner as following [6]:  mathematics,  natural sciences,  engineering science,  engineering design,  complementary studies, and  other unspecified content.The graduate attributes are also high level and can be thought of as program-level learningoutcomes. The twelve graduate attributes are as follows: 1) Knowledge base for engineering; 2) Problem analysis; 3) Investigation; 4) Design; 5) Use of engineering tools; 6) Individual and team work; 7) Communication skills; 8) Professionalism; 9) Impact of engineering on society and the environment; 10) Ethics and equity; 11) Economics and

research, (2) technical communication, (3) project management, (4)teamwork, (5) environmental health and safety, and (6) research ethics. Students can elect to take1, 2, or 3 credits of research each semester. Developing a concrete grading scheme that is both effective and efficient has long been adifficult task. To combat this problem, the co-author has implemented a specifications gradingapproach during the last three semesters (starting in Fall 2018). The defined specifications aremade up of two components: deliverables and hours of effort. The deliverables are comprised of mandatory university safety trainings to gain access tothe lab, responsible conduct of research training, educational and skills modules, reflections,planning

will certainly find the quickest and easiest waythrough or around that obstacle. It is our job as engineering educators to ensure that Homeworkis not the goal, but a means to the end of mastering the skills required for the practice ofengineering. Access to Chegg® is not good or bad, but it is real. Faculty can hold onto our oldmodels and fight access to these resources under rules of ethics or other means, or they canaccept the existence of the new tools and build better educational models for the 21st century.Chegg® may have broken the old way of homework, but it could end up pushing faculty toward abetter system.ProblemThe following analysis is based on 2011, 2012, and 2016 engineering dynamics course offerings.In 2011/12, labeled the Pre
