“…Having the students take ownership in this fashion helped to facilitate a culture against cheating. Another study [13] presents an argument for education of faculty members, as it discusses approaches to educate new faculty members on establishing cultures discouraging cheating.…”

With classroom instruction undergoing a massive transformation to incorporate online learning techniques at unprecedented levels, technological advances have facilitated a range of mechanisms that improve teaching and learning. At the same time, these technological advances have also facilitated different forms of cheating in classes.Although the impact and implications of cheating have often been studied, we feel that this problem experiences constant evolution, and the dynamics of cheating, especially in online courses, needs more examination to be fully grasped. The study presented here surveyed computer science, computer information systems, and engineering college students, with the goal of gaining a greater understanding of their perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes about the many dimensions of academic integrity violations. Results of this survey, coupled with statistical analysis and some conclusions, are presented.The impact of our popular Virtual Lab (VLAB) facility is also examined in this context, and it is found to make a positive difference in student attitudes about cheating in classes.

“…As instructors look for new ways to better teach their students in a modern age, the use of "opennote" testing as a method to facilitate the rising number of online courses while maintaining academic integrity. 2,3 Student Performance: Open Book vs. Closed Book Generally, previous research shows a trend of supporting the hypothesis that open-book tests do not result in statistically significant differences, improvements or declines, in student performance measured by grades. Some studies have shown that an open-book environment tends to result in greater improvement, although still statistically insignificant, in the performance of weaker students 4 while conversely psychologist JD Pauker's study in 1974 found that below average students' scores were significantly lower on open book examinations.…”

Academic Integrity is a fundamental condition for the mission of any University. Ethical problems undermine Academic Integrity and thus the mission of the University. The College of Engineering at the University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez (UPRM) has developed an Ethics Across the Engineering Curriculum Program as a space for students and professors to connect engineering and its ethical implications. This paper will present the Introductory Freshman module whose objective is to create awareness around the subject of Academic Integrity. At the end of the module, participants complete an assessment instrument. The instrument evaluates the impact of the ethics module on Academic Integrity in two aspects: (i) the learning process and the perception of the students, and (ii) the impact on their ethical awareness and evaluation. This module is part of a strong commitment to social, ethical and global issues that the College of Engineering has made at UPRM.
