Beyond her teaching experience, she also has over a decade of industry experience as a software developer. In industry, she has a history of solving ’unsolvable’ problems. She enjoys a great deal of personal satisfaction when her analytical and problem solving skills can be applied to solve complex technical problems and when she can find creative new ways to pass the things she has learned on to the next generation. Her first teaching experience was at Ozanam Sheltered Workshop teaching adults with mental and physical disabilities. The experience gave her the

disciplinary contexts arestandards on academic integrity found in course syllabi. These statements about plagiarism,cheating, and intellectual property have been standardized and are practically copied and pastedinto each new syllabus. These principles are perceived as being so common sense that manyinstructors no longer attend to them when going over the syllabus with students. Such “common-sense” ethics are not unique to higher education contexts but can be found in almost anyorganization. Yet, just as students still get in trouble for plagiarism under the guise of ignorance,engineering professionals can participate in ethical missteps which might be labeled as implicit,understood, or common-sense. Therefore, it is important we do not work under the
