PLAGIARISM/ACADEMIC DISHONESTY:

Student papers should represent original work by the paper’s author. Copying passages verbatim from sources is not acceptable, except for short, appropriately indicated passages that are necessary to make a point in a paper. Software may be used to detect plagiarism. A plagiarized paper will receive a zero grade–other consequences may also apply according to College of Engineering and University guidelines.
