The project offers peer support through small group activities in online foundationalengineering courses that incorporate structured active learning sessions to enhance theengineering content [1] [2] [3]. These types of active learning scenarios have potential tostrengthen STEM competencies to increase students’ academic persistence [4] [5]. Persistence inengineering pathways is contributed to students’ acclimation and mindset to accomplish theireducational goals [6] and enter the engineering workforce [7].

(At NC State, the Office of Student Conduct has reduced the length of probation to encourage more faculty to report cheating – though this reduces the penalties.)But none of these bullets make the reasons to cheat go away. And many of them overloadprofessors. We can dissuade cheating a bit by raising the stakes, but it won't work in the long run.So then what? Here is our call to action.Along with the growing concern about our student’s uses of AI, the time has come to heed the callfor active learning, problem-based learning, and mindset changes. In truth, only remaking theassignments into something that students need and value will in the end stop them from copying. ●​ We need open-ended projects where every

Such observations are partic-ularly relevant in engineering education, where instructional methods must often address the cog-nitive demands of design thinking and problem-solving. Additionally, these methods help identifychallenges such as student resistance to active learning, a common barrier in STEM classrooms[2].Despite their benefits, many observational protocols have limitations. Some protocols struggleto address the complexity of engineering classrooms, which frequently involve project-based andproblem-based activities that demand higher-order cognitive skills.

This dissemination will occur in the form ofeducational/professional development modules and seminars/information sessions with thesepartners.
