After consultation with all involved it was learned that the three hadelectronically stolen the documents from someone previously enrolled in theclass. The class, an upper level laboratory, is a one-credit laboratory. The studentswork in the first portion of the class was not in question but later assignmentswere plagiarized. All three students were given a failing grade in the class; eachhad just one semester until graduation. The one credit course is only offered in thespring semester meaning the students would have to put off graduation one termto repeat the

For others, however, the quest to birth a child can beemotionally arduous and financially taxing. According to the Centers for Disease Controland Prevention, up to 15 percent of couples are ‘unable to conceive a child with frequent,unprotected sexual intercourse over the course of a year,’ which categorizes them asbeing infertile [1]. Approximately 35% of infertility is due to male factors; 35% is due tofemale factors; 20% of cases have a combination of both male and female factors; and thelast 10% are unexplained causes [2] Many such individuals, and same-sex couples, havebeen successfully aided by laboratory

typically expressed in units of pounds per square foot (PSF). Even if thisvalue were measured by a laboratory test for the clay soil the helical pile is being driven into,there would still exist the aleatory variability of the natural material. However, in many cases,the strength of the soil is estimated from some other soil property that is easily, and cheaply,measured such as soil type. Thus the engineer must use ‘engineering judgement’ to estimate howmuch axial capacity a helical pile can safely hold. A commonly used correlation for soil strength,cohesion, and consistency is shown in Table 1 from Terzaghi and Peck [11].Table 1. Soil consistency and ranges of soil strength [11] Soil Consistency

Inthis course, students are required to identify suffering of others (others includes the humanspecies as well as other species), design a response to the suffering and carry that action out. Theproject must involve at least 15 hours of service. Alternatively, students can explore issuesassociated with the use of animals in the research laboratory through service at the FarmSanctuary in Watkins Glen. The relevance for this project’s inclusion is based on the fact that avast majority of the new devices and drugs are first tested on a wide range of animal species.One will very often hear reference to “porcine” and “bovine” animal models in the
