Academic 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, while
you are a developing engineer.
 A pervasive lack of integrity would diminish the value
of accomplishment for all.
Academic 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 …3
• Who should you talk to if you are not sure of a particular
situation?
- not sure of course expectations
 ask instructor
- see others committing academic misconduct
 talk to the course instructor or the Associate Dean
- general concerns or questions:
Simon Witt (Society A)[sgw861@mun.ca] or
Caileigh Callahan [cmc525@mun.ca]
