We hypothesize that a climate of informedethical practices surrounding academic integrity supports higher levels of student outcomes on anethical reasoning assessment. As part of this mixed methods study, engineering studentsindicated their perceptions via a confidential survey of how well faculty fulfill several bestpractices for supporting academic integrity: articulating clear policies, preventing cheating, andpromoting the value of integrity in class. Students also self-reported their perceived achievementof ethical reasoning and what value they place on it.

Thestudy presented in this paper details the approach taken to replace in-class quizzes with regularout-of-class homework assignments in an introductory engineering mechanics course. Theobjectives of the study were to: 1) provide students with a variety of problems to apply both newand previous knowledge; 2) encourage engagement with the course material outside of in-personlessons; and 3) teach students to reflect and self-assess their own learning. Eighteen homeworkassignments were added throughout the thirty-lesson course. Each assignment consisted of twoparts; practice problems from previous lessons and conceptual responses based on preparation forthe next lesson. At the beginning of each class, students were given the
