a study looking at the perceptions of and experienceswith academic integrity that students bring with them post K-12, at the start of theirundergraduate engineering careers. It also provides a foundation to help track the evolution ofstudents’ perceptions of academic dishonesty as they progress through their studies.IntroductionEngineering work is performed within the context of a code of ethics. Codes of ethics are sharedby the different engineering professional societies, such as the American Society of CivilEngineers1, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers2, and the National Society ofProfessional Engineers3, among others. It is therefore important to ensure that engineeringstudents are being prepared to act within the

Those that did not have the spirit of accommodationwere uncomfortable but, faced with the prospect of getting entrapped in an even biggermoral dilemma, they ended up seeking a reasonable outcome. Students rated the coursevery highly and commended its attempt to find realistic and coherent ways towardresolving moral problems.Tags: Moral dilemma, dispute resolution, creative middle way, rational thinking.1.
