As they start theirengineering education, they need to develop a solid foundation in mathematics and sciencesbefore reaching core engineering courses. At this stage, some students are not mature enough to Page 14.798.2understand

engineering, math, and scienceeducation for American Indians, women, and other minorities remain. For American Indians,low levels of enrollment in engineering and closely related programs can be attributed to culturaldifferences, inadequate support programs, inadequate financial aid, lack of professional rolemodels, minimal academic and peer counseling, limited exposure to the fields of engineering andinadequate math skills. American Indian communities are the most in need of trainedengineering professionals as they manage their own natural resources on their lands(hydroelectric dams, coal reserves) and work to develop economic infrastructure within theircommunities.

Unfortunately, the other reasons for plagiarism show at least some conscious level ofunethical behavior. Procrastination is a trap that many students fall into. Failing to manage timewisely can lure the student who would not usually plagiarize to employ unethical practices tocomplete an assignment.12 Online paper mills with a six-hour turn around time provide atempting alternative to pulling the more traditional all-night writing session.
