In the first semester of data collection—Spring 2012—many participantsfailed to complete both the pre and post SDLRS. Thus, for subsequent semesters, participantshave been randomly assigned to take the SDLRS either before or after taking the modules.

Due to the need to refer to previous research results to provide a context forcurrent research,1 academic writing is often inherently intertextual in nature.2 While theboundary line between appropriate source text use and plagiarism may be vague for somestudents,3 the consequences for crossing that line, even inadvertently, are not. Students andresearchers accused of plagiarism can suffer serious consequences.In 2006, 55 theses and dissertations at Ohio University’s Russ College of Engineering andTechnology were investigated due to allegations of plagiarism, with at least one student havinghis degree revoked.4,5 In 2007, a number of papers previously submitted by internationalphysicists to the arXiv preprint server were found

Valuable information from students’ survey will bepresented and analyzed. According to the students’ survey in our three classes, the majority ofstudents strongly agreed with that the teaching approach “the balance of theory, simulation andproject” was the best one for teaching the course “Design of Machine Elements”.1. IntroductionThe trend in engineering education is swinging from an emphasis on theory to a balance betweentheory and applied design activities [1-4].

Yet, criticisms of slide-based teaching are well-documented [1].In recent years, a number of non-traditional slide presentation approaches have beendeveloped. The effectiveness of these approaches have not been much studied. This paperfocuses specifically on “interactive” slide presentations, which are characterized by theinstructor’s use of a stylus and a tablet computer (e.g. iPad, tablet PC or other device) toannotate and draw on slides during the lecture
