It has even been observed that students use their phones to take pictures of thequestions and/or answers to send to another student in the class or even to an individualoutside of the classroom who responds with a solution. In lab, cheating often occurs by copyingprevious labs, or duplicating someone else’s laboratory results or discussion. It may occur onhomework by copying someone else’s homework or working in a homework group whereothers do the work and the offender writes down the solutions without understanding. There isan easy criterion to judge cheating; if the

FYSE participants were given homework assignments, lab work,quizzes, exams, and an engineering-related group project with a final presentation. Upper-levelengineering undergraduate students were hired as residential tutors to assist students each weeknight, providing guidance and support on homework assignments and projects, in addition togeneral support in the students’ residence facility.In addition to the academic components, the FYSE program was designed to cultivatecommunity and a network

In general, students agreed with how the instructorstructured and paced the course to provide sufficient time for completing each learning activityof the class, such as online quizzes, lab exercises, homework assignments, and the team project.It is very interesting to observe from Figure 2(d), many students indicated that insufficientinstructions were provided for the team project.

However implementation is not. Resource allocation forinfrastructure, laboratories, faculty salaries and other forms of student facilities are inadequate. In theabsence of accreditation standards quality control of programs and its graduates is illusionary. This isin spite of most private engineering schools charging upwards of $2,000 in tuition per year, a highamount compared to personal income. The government-funded universities and colleges, which wereeffectively free (including room) in the 1980s, have also instituted tuition fees in the range of

Not infrequently, these coursesare required for graduation, including many E/ET majors. Indeed their non-major coursesgenerate large quantities of student credit hours that further justify these departments and theircourses for non majors provide support for a number of teaching assistants that comprise a goodportion of their graduate students.Members of ASEE’s Multidisciplinary Division are the most likely faculty to develop EI coursesbecause they inherently have wide interests and tend to be familiar with resources for
