% in1963 to 54% in 1993, and the percentages of students who engaged in appropriate collaborationwith other students on homework assignments increased from 11% to 49% (Passow et. al.,2006). It can be due to increase of using collaborations in the classes. Several studies haveidentified variations in rates of cheating among students within different majors. With generalagreement among these studies that higher percentages of business and engineering studentsengage in cheating which are 91% and 82% respectively compared to students in the social andnatural sciences which are 73% and 71% respectively (McCabe, 1997, Mattei, 2008).

It is hypothesized that there is disconnect betweenthe principles outlined in Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and the actual classroomenvironment, thus creating a barrier to intrinsic motivation needed for student learning. Theproposed work is an empirical investigation to explore this disconnect in the context ofundergraduate engineering education. The primary tasks will be to (i) assess the Facultyknowledge of SDT; (ii) develop a measurement framework to assess the classroom environmentas it relates to SDT; and (iii) determine the association among Faculty knowledge of SDT

Listening indesign for technology may be constrained. For instance, in one of our research interviews, aformer graduate student and current faculty member stated that his undergraduate educationand early industry experience taught him that, in design contexts, he needed to “listen to thespec.” By that, he meant that he needed to listen to the specifications that were implicit orexplicit in the client’s explanation of the problem and desired solution. That trained his ear tobe a basic listener and to consciously filter out information that did not
