us, the warnings about academic dishonesty in our undergraduate programs took the form ofexhortations to “keep your eyes on your own paper” and restrictions on baseball caps, baggy jackets, andwater bottles, perhaps with elaborately produced fake labels. Proctors were alert for wandering eyes,craning necks, and cupped hands held awkwardly by a student’s side. Copying on tests meant an overlycasual sideways glance and wandering attention. Copying on homework materials often depended on peersocial networks, and the perception of academic dishonesty within those networks.Academic misconduct is widely known on college campuses. Most institutions have an office ofacademic integrity and policies in place to attempt to curtail multiple types of

We further posit thatwhen communication tools are used and implemented with a growth mindset approach, they canbe effective in developing positive rapport with students in all classrooms regardless of the formof communication. Hence, we aim to overcome issues such as lack of student engagement,success and consequently lower retention rates by training engineering faculty on the relationshipbetween mindset and rapport followed by professional learning on effective rapport buildingstrategies using various communication tools.MethodologyParticipantsAll faculty in Northern Arizona University’s (NAU) College of Engineering, Informatics andApplied Sciences in spring 2021 were invited to participate in the study.

This qualitative study examines the impact of a creativity-focused REU program in biomedical engineering on students’ conceptions of research and itsrelationship to the creative process. In addition, this study examines how faculty incorporateconcepts of the creative process in their work with the REU students. Results of the study showthat after participating in the program, students were likely to have a conception of research thatwas broader and more cyclical.

Toresolve this issue, professors often allow students to create and use support sheets, also known ascheat sheets or crib sheets, which contain useful information to aid them during an exam.
