the major concerns in engineering education3,7.Hence, exploring better strategies to assign homework or alternatives that can replace homeworkhas become a hot research topic. Some strategies that can be used when students have access tosolution manuals include8-11: 1) creating customized homework/quiz; 2) lowering the weight ofhomework in the overall grade; and 3) using online software that is able to randomly change thenumerical numbers in the questions and grade homework automatically.

. Raisingawareness of the issue of plagiarism amongst students and develop understanding of academicintegrity and authorship has been continuously addressed by the academia [16]. The projectsdesigned based on research-informed approach inherently reduce the plagiarism. This is due to thefact that a research-informed approach is designed based on objectives that are novel in the fieldof practice which can lead to new research results. National Academy of Engineering Global Challenge Scholars Program (GCSP) [17], createdin 2008, as a vision that is about serving people and society. GCSP is an aspirational vision ofwhat engineering needs to deliver to all people on the planet in the 21st century. In just 15 words,the vision is [17]: “Continuation of life on
