Hands-on learning is a proven validation technique in educationand has always been emphasized at LSSU.LSSU’s Introductory Engineering course is a two-credit lecture/lab offered to thecombined freshman class (EE, ME and MfgET), with an average enrollment of 75. Thegoal of the course is to provide incoming students with an improved understanding ofboth engineering in general and their chosen engineering discipline, to show students theopportunities available for engineers at LSSU, and to provide some basic technical skills.The course is intended as a retention tool, a means to educate our customers, a vehicle forthe

This course was intended to meet Loyola’s core(general education) requirements in the fine arts area, while also satisfying an “engineeringelective” requirement for any engineering students who chose to take the course.Different approaches for integrating art and engineering in an educational setting have beendescribed by several investigators. Some incorporated modules or projects into existing art orengineering courses [1-4] or labs [5,6]. Others developed new courses that combined thedisciplines in particular ways [7-12]. Still others conducted studies outside of courses [13] ormodified entire curricula [14]. The aims and methods associated with these efforts were quitevaried. For example, Benson and

Johnson, Curtis Watson, Shawn Davidson, Douglas Eschbach Purdue University / University of Illinois / Hewlett-Packard / QualcommAbstractPlagiarism of digital system designs has become increasingly convenient with the emergence oflanguage-based design techniques. Detection and proof of plagiarism are similarly facilitated.This has long been an issue in computer programming courses and non-technical courses thatrely heavily on text based assignments.
