, the availabilityof Internet resources has contributed to the growth of plagiarism among learners. Learners mayplagiarize because it is the norm, or because they do not know they are plagiarizing, or they donot have the time to read and cite sources. Some researchers have stated that the main form ofcheating [among college students] is plagiarism and that as faculty our role is to educate them onthe ethics of cheating”. Campbell (2001) stated “Teachers’ own philosophical orientations,conscious or not, to moral and ethical issues will ultimately determine how they interpret theirprofessional obligations and their role as moral agents”.

That said, faculty andindustry have a more nuanced view of leadership than do students as some of them felt that thetraits of a leader are very important while students rated ‘born traits’ at merely ‘somewhat’important. The open-ended responses also help inform the researchers that faculty and studentssee leadership as a self-development process or a process of learning how to engage others.Very few faculty and students identified leadership as a tool to lead a cause. A similarly smallnumber identified leadership with the ethical dimension. Faculty are already using

may argue that in engineering, perhaps the same principles are discussed using differentterminology, for example, engineering ethics. It is true that most engineering programs have somecoverage of engineering ethics either as a stand-alone course or as content that is integrated withdesign projects and design activities in design-focused courses. This is a fair argument that needsto be explored further.Design Justice principles and a code of ethics are both frameworks for guiding designpractice, but they have some key differences. A code of ethics is a set of principles orguidelines that outline what is considered ethical behavior within a specific profession.
