For those that do receive some ethicsinstruction, it is most likely to be focused more narrowly on research ethics rather than morebroadly on professional practice ethics.

, and concept generationAbstractInvestigations of creativity have been an intriguing topic for a long time, but assessing creativityis extremely complex. Creativity is a cornerstone of engineering disciplines, so understandingcreativity and how to enhance creative abilities through engineering education has receivedsubstantial attention. Fields outside of engineering are no stranger to neuro-investigations ofcreativity and although some neuro-response studies have been conducted to understandcreativity in engineering, these studies need to map the engineering design and conceptgeneration processes better. Using neuroimaging techniques alongside engineering design andconcept generation processes is necessary for understanding how to improve

become increasinglyprevalent at all levels of education, from elementary school through graduate school (McCabe,Treviño, &Butterfield, 2006). A number of studies have explored the prevalence, determinates,and different definitions of cheating behavior (Carpenter et. al. 2006, Atschular, 2001). Ahistorical comparison shows that in 1969, 33% of high school students cheated in their academicwork compared to 67.8% in 1999 (Altschuler, 2001). In the universities, there is evidence thatthe percentage of students who cheat while remained constant over time-82% in 1963 versus84% in 1993, but the severity of cheating in terms of frequency and types of dishonestyincreased significantly. Students who admit to having cheated in an exam increased from 26
