geometricdesign to first-year civil engineering students.Introduction Visualization of the problem and its solution can play an essential role in the education offirst-year engineering students. Therefore, the laboratory modules that contain an engineeringproblem and solution to that, might be a very useful tool for engineering education [1]. Recentlymany universities switched the introduction to engineering design course from lecture-basedcourse to laboratory-based one [2]. To develop an appropriate laboratory module for the firstyearengineering students, it is very important to understand the students’ view of an engineeringproblems. A couple of factors that should be considered in designing these types of modules arethe students’ level of

Therefore, wefocus on a tool used to detect plagiarism in a First-year programming course.Typically, plagiarism is considered in writing assignments and research papers, where tools suchas Turnitin are used to highlight plagiarised work.
