Also the numberof engineering graduates have declined in recent years as is evident from the reported eight percentdecline in the proportion of Natural Sciences and Engineering (NS&E) degrees as a share of totaldegrees conferred between 2002 and 2007 (NSB, 2010). The decline in the natural sciences andengineering degrees conferred can also be attributed to the student attrition from these programs afterthe students are on campus.Reasons for Student Attrition:Previous studies have indicated that significant student attrition or “switching” from science andengineering educational programs to other fields occurs during the first one or two years of

. While these types of events still occur, recent technology advances have provided even more avenues for unacceptable academic behavior. Devices such as iPods, PDAs, cellular phones, and even some calculators can “instant message” within the classroom. They also store volumes of text and can connect to the internet. In addition, textbook authors and publishers now routinely provide end of chapter answers and exam question pools for instructors which have been illicitly obtained by students. In some cases, a naive educator will make it even easier for students to cheat by posting these items on an open website for the entire world to see. Given the extraordinary efforts that students will go to
