of professional registration.Another level of accountability in engineering are codes and standards which provide accountabilityfor a given task, especially for engineers not professionally registered. If engineers do not followthese guidelines or topics and the result is a failure that causes loss of property and/or life, the legalsystem is always ready to hold engineers accountable. In addition to the external accountability thatexists for engineers, there is also an internal, personal accountability that exists. Internalizing theprofessional code of ethics is a start. Many people have other systems by which they live as well.Religion plays a big part in this role, whether it be Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism,Christianity, Taoism

Multiple sections of the coursewere offered in the fall semester while a single section is offered in the spring semester.

manuals became available in digital format. The digital format madeit easy for one student who had gained access to a solution manual to distribute it to others. Severalstudies have examined the effects of students’ use of solution manuals on their performance duringexams 1-7. Many instructors have ethical concerns regarding the students’ use of solution manuals,while many students do not consider the use of solution manuals as scholastic dishonesty1. Few studieshave shown that the use of solution manual has an adverse effect on students’ learning2-5. Other studieshave suggested new strategies for assigning homework problems 6,7. With the availability of solutionmanuals to students, we noticed over time fewer and fewer students stopping by during
