Detection and Prevention of Plagiarism in Electrical Engineering EducationIntroductionIn recent times, plagiarism has attracted unprecedented attention in higher education. It isgenerally agreed that the advent of the Internet with the ease of access it provides to sources ofinformation has contributed to the proliferation of the practice of plagiarism. Plagiarism hasbecome a global problem, encouraging alliances of higher education institutions around theworld, creating incentives for the development and use of highly specialised and costly softwareplatforms in combating the phenomenon.Until recently it would have been considered inconceivable for students of electrical engineeringto resort to
