As educators,our goal is not only to train competent and creative engineers, but also to prepare citizens withtechnical training who can systematically assess the impacts of technology on local and globalpopulations, cultures and environments and appropriately implement optimal engineeringsolutions which address these considerations. Service learning activities provide a window ofopportunity for students to engage in civic duty while applying relevant engineering concepts.The College of Engineering considers service learning to be an important vehicle in theinternationalization of

For example, does using atextbook solution manual when completing a graded homework assignment constitute cheating?The previous study found that most students do not consider this to be cheating except in theextreme case of plagiarism where the solution is copied completely.1 If instructors disagree withthis opinion, now that so many more students have access to the solution manual they need tovery clearly communicate this to
