Academic Integrity in EngineeringAcademic Integrity in Engineering

• What is academic integrity?

during their studies at MUN, a student’s behaviour should be honest, respectful, ethical, honourable…

• Why is it important?

“A professional engineer shall recognize that professional ethics are founded upon integrity, competence and devotion to service and to the advancement of human welfare. This concept shall guide the conduct of the professional engineer at all times.” PEGNL Code of Ethics

This expectation for ethical behaviour starts now, whileyou are a developing engineer.

A pervasive lack of integrity would diminish the value of accomplishment for all.

Academic Integrity …2Academic Integrity …2

• What are some examples of academic misconduct?

copying any part of an assignment off a friend

not contributing to a lab for which you get credit as part of a group

facilitating others to commit misconduct (eg. lending someone your assignment to copy)

using pirated software

Academic Integrity …3Academic Integrity …3
