Reconceptualizing Citation Practices As “Feminist Memory”, Lc Santangelo
Reconceptualizing Citation Practices As “Feminist Memory”, Lc Santangelo
Feminist Pedagogy
Relying on feminist theory, this Original Teaching Activity foregrounds citation as celebration, rather than chore, to encourage students to rethink previous assumptions. In all, the lesson hopes to show students that citation connects scholars to one another and therefore merits our careful attention, at the same time it makes visible preconceived notions that limit how we define "scholarship."

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 cheat in college. To investigate this concern, the authors embarked on a research project whose goal was to develop a better understanding of what students and faculty perceive as cheating and to use this knowledge to help instructors and institutions increase the level of academic integrity among students. The primary instrument for this project was a seven-page survey that was administered to 643 engineering and pre-engineering undergraduates at eleven …
Work In Progress - An Investigation Into The Effect Of An Institutional Honor Code Policy On Academic Behavior, Donald D. Carpenter, Trevor S. Harding, Cynthia J. Finelli, Matthew Mayhew

Research indicates significant cheating at institutions of higher learning; however, evidence indicates that a well-designed and clearly-communicated campus honor code might have a mitigating effect. This is the impetus behind the implementation of an Academic Honor Code Policy at a private university beginning in the fall of 2004. This situation presented a unique opportunity to investigate the potential of an academic honor code to change the culture and behavior at a university. This investigation will involve conducting a longitudinal study on the academic habits of students as they progress through the curriculum and include students whose academic careers began under …
A Case Study On Research In Engineering Education: Designing, Testing, And Administering The Paces-2 Survey On Academic Integrity, Cynthia J. Finelli, Jamie L. Szwalek, Donald D. Carpenter, Trevor S. Harding

Materials Engineering
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 on conducting rigorous research in engineering education. This paper provides practical advice for planning and conducting such research. The authors use their long term project to predict academic dishonesty in engineering college students as a case study representing one approach to research in engineering education. In particular, the authors present the design, testing, and administration of a two-part survey instrument to collect information from college students about their …
