Academic integrity among engineering undergraduates: Seven years of research by the E^3 Team
(2007-06)
The E3 Team (Exploring Ethical decision-making in Engineering) is a group of engineering educators and educational researchers who have worked collaboratively since 2000 to understand the underlying causes of academic ...
Engineering students' perceptions of and attitudes towards cheating
(Journal of Engineering Education, 2006)
Academic dishonesty has become a serious problem at institutions of higher learning. This is particularly true in engineering where, according to previous research, engineering undergraduates are among the most likely to ...
The implications of academic dishonesty in undergraduate engineering on professional ethical behavior
(Proceedings of the 2006 World Environmental and Water Resources Congress, Omaha, NB, 2006-05)
Student academic dishonesty, commonly referred to as cheating, has become a serious problem at institutions of higher education. This is particularly true of engineering students who, according to previous research, are ...
Cheating in College and its Influence on Ethical Behavior in Professional Engineering Practice
(2006-06)
Research has demonstrated that engineering undergraduates report rates of cheating higher than those in most other disciplines and that students who cheat in college are more likely to make unethical decisions as professionals. ...
A study on academic integrity among engineering undergraduates (preliminary conclusions).
(Proceedings of the 2002 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition, Montreal, Quebec, Canada., 2002-06)
Student academic dishonesty, commonly referred to as cheating, has
become a serious problem at institutions of higher education. This is
particularly true of engineering students who, according to previous
research, ...
Students' perceptions of both the certainty and the deterrent effect of potential consequences of cheating
(Proceedings of the 2003 ASEE Annual Conference and Exposition, Nashville, TN, 2003-06)
Extensive research indicates that cheating among undergraduate students
is a serious problem, and we have initiated a long-term investigation to
identify and validate concrete approaches for reducing the frequency ...
A case study of research in engineering education: Designing, testing, and administering the PACES-2 Survey on academic integrity
(Proceedings of the 35th Frontiers in Education Conference, Indianapolis, IN, 2005-10)
Most engineering educators excel at planning and conducting technical research in their field, but few are proficient doing this for a project in engineering education. Recently, however, there has been increased emphasis ...
The theory of planned behavior as a model of academic dishonesty in humanities and engineering undergraduates
(2007-09)
This study examines the use of a modified form of the Theory of Planned Behavior in understanding the decisions of undergraduate students in engineering and humanities to engage in cheating. We surveyed 527 randomly ...
Does academic dishonesty relate to unethical behavior in professional practice? An exploratory study.
(Science and Engineering Ethics, 2004)
According to studies conducted over the past four decades, engineering students self-report high frequencies of academic dishonesty (cheating) while in college. Research on college students in all fields has indicated ...
A comparison of the role of academic dishonesty policies of several colleges on the cheating behavior of engineering and pre-engineering students
(Proceedings of the 32nd Frontiers in Educational Conference, Boston, MA, 2002-11)
While universities take a variety of approaches in dealing with academic dishonesty, current evidence suggests that institutions with honor codes have a significantly lower level of self-reported cheating as compared to ...
