taking online courses have the highesttendency to plagiarize by using unauthorized notes/books, completing exams jointly andallowing another person to do the exams and other coursework activities [14]. Since theProceedings of the 2013 Midwest Section Conference of the American Society for Engineering Educationinstructors cannot control the exams, homework and projects at home, the students basicallydecide whatever and however they like to complete them. Recently, it was reported that over70% of the college students who take the online courses have admitted cheating during theexams and quizzes regardless of the instaurations on the uses of books, notes, and other devicesmentioned above [14].Like traditional students, the online students prefer to

Many participants commented that they wereunaware of all of the different options for STEM, and feedback from the first workshop indicatedthat they would like to learn about more STEM careers. Thus for the second workshop, thefacilitator kept a list on a flipboard in front of the room, and the large group brainstormed otherideas.In addition, for the second workshop, another activity was added that aimed to introduce anonline tool where they could further explore career opportunities in STEM.

These pairs of courses work together toteach students the basics of programming and problem solving using C++. The first pair ofcourses (CS 053/054) is typically targeting first-year students in computer science or computerand electrical engineering, while the second pair of courses (CS 074/078) is targeting students inall other engineering disciplines.

There is also little doubt that research typically drives the contentof university courses reflected in the final papers, projects, and daily lectures. It is not difficult toimagine that if our research funds become mostly or exclusively from interested parties in theMME then, the content of our courses might sooner or later, begin to reflect those alignments.The “true stars” in academia will be those who better serve the market demands. Thisimmediately raises serious ethical questions because many professors not wanting to do specialinterest research might be in disadvantage. In the end, academic freedom might be the mostimportant loss of all.Consequences for Universities

The use of clickers should lead to more reflective choices by the professor on howmaterial should be covered. While this starts with what clicker questions to use, it can easilyexpand to how the material is discussed in the classroom and how the material is handled outsideof the classroom.An analogy can be made to a toolbox. The larger the set of tools you employ—the better you canchoose the best way to help students learn. Teaching goals should drive choices.
