unique channel that has aided in plagiarism.The internet and Google have opened up an entirely new way of learning about ourworld. Google gives you links to blogs, subject related websites, articles, journals, books– essentially pointers to all places where you could find information about any topic youwish to know more about. Technology has given us solutions to many problems but at thesame time it comes at a cost. The downside of using the internet is its use to commitplagiarism, cyber plagiarism. In this age where students have turned to online research,plagiarism creeps unintentionally and “educators are alarmed by the potential of theinternet to encourage unlawful copying” 22.Faculty should guide students in using theinternet for research

The educational value of the fatigue FE learning module isassessed by short quizzes administered before and after students use the module. The results ofthe pre-quiz and post-quiz are used to identify any Felder-Soloman learning style and/or Myers-Briggs personality type bias in the module. Statistical study of these assessment results willallow the content and presentation of the module to be improved to better suit engineeringstudents.

morally autonomous. But this places Proceedings of the 2001 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2001, American Society for Engineering Educationa burden on universities that offer professional education to graduate students who are morallyautonomous. Universities have to move from more authoritarian modes of education to thosein which students can practice the skills that compose moral autonomy. The key insight here isthat ethical-empowerment does not require that employers and teachers abandon control butthat they enable individuals to internalize control. After all, autonomy, in the Kantian sense,refers to the internalization of moral imperatives; duty becomes the

Students are also asked for feedback on course content. SinceTC2K requires ET programs to demonstrate that graduates have a commitment to quality,timeliness and continuous improvement, it is valuable to have faculty model the behavior andinvolve students in the culture of continuous improvement. One professor in the PurdueUniversity Calumet School of Technology asks for written feedback once week.

In some institutions around the world,academic dishonesty is endemic and adds another reason for the educator to overlook regularassessments, especially in purely undergraduate institutions, where no graduate students areavailable to give proper feedback and control academic dishonesty.

We found that as a micro-kernel, Xilkernelsupports only a very basic set of functions and we found it very tedious and time consuming todevelop labs for more advanced topics such as the multi-core programming and real-timescheduling topics we wanted to pursue. After an initial survey, we considered changing to theNucleus OS from Mentor Graphics (MG). Productivity was our major concern in this choice;Nucleus is a commercial real-time operating system that supports multi-core type architecturesand we hoped using it would significantly reduce our workload to develop the applications.
