While more research is needed in this area, it is our hope that these findings willlead to a well-supported definition for what it means to be a globally competent engineer

The first approach is often too broad, unfocused, and shallow, while thesecond aims to create well-rounded critical thinkers without the technical competencies expectedby engineering industries. More middle ground options include adding courses in history, ethics,literature or the performing arts with an intentional engineering focus, though these courseschallenge the high credit requirements of many engineering programs [5], [7], [8], [9], [10].Other attempts incorporate liberal arts through guest lectures, course modules, and pairedcourses, though typically at the cost of some technical depth or breadth [3], [11].

Below are presented some of the findings: • Males generally cheat more, though the difference was reported as diminishing over time • Lower G.P.A. students cheat more • Business major students cheat more than others • Personal moral/ethical guidelines affect cheating propensity and feelings about cheating • More surveillance corresponded with less cheating • Observing others cheating, knowing friends who cheat, and sitting next to

To better integrate these concepts, some researchers suggest starting at a smallerscale within existing engineering courses, such as engaging students in sociotechnical thinkingthrough class assignments or rubrics (Claussen et al., 2019; Salzman et al., 2019).Although academic institutions are now working to integrate the social, economic, and politicaldimensions of engineering in undergraduate engineering coursework, there remains a lack offundamental research on how to engage students in these sociotechnical topics.

But the character and meaningof the [parent’s] care may be in excess of the work itself. For the [parent], the work is a responseto the relationship, whereas for the day-care worker, the relationship is probably a response tothe work” [21. p. 33].
