(2011) considered attitude, subjective norm, moral judgment andperceived importance as the influencing factors of ethical behavioral intention based on theTheory of Planned Action. Renwick and Riemenschneider (2013) proposed a model ofethical decision-making among IT students and showed that moral judgment is the mostimportant indicator of ethical intention.The theoretical foundations of this research are based on the Theory of Perceived Possibilityof Disclosure1 presented by Bolhari et al.

Traditionally, thislaboratory activity is carried out during two sessions; in the first session half of the time is for anintroductory explanation of the use of the manual lathe machine and in the second half thestudents start a hand on work with the piece. During the second session the students continuewith the project so they can finish all the manual lathe operations.Typically, students have some difficulties to achieve the targeted tolerances and they show somefrustration in the mid-term project presentation. To improve the students’ performance (primarilymeasured by tolerance gap) and experience, during the spring 2019 year was planned to apply aspaced practice strategy

The consultingmodel takes into account the client’s perspective of the issues at hand and integrates the clientinto the conversation from the beginning of the process. Similarly, the client is consulted atvarying points of the project to ensure that the project and the resulting product will meet theirneeds.
