The Honor Code shall be understood to apply to all academic areas of the School such as examinations, quizzes, laboratory reports, themes, computer programs, homework, and other possible assignments. Only that work specifically identified by the class instructor not to be under the Honor Code is excluded. The intent of the Honor Code is to recognize professional conduct and, thus, it shall be deemed a violation of the Honor Code to knowingly deceive, copy, paraphrase, or otherwise misrepresent your work in a manner inconsistent with professional conduct. Enforcement of the Honor Code shall be the duty of each student and faculty member in the School of Engineering. Failure by a student to report a violation of the Honor Code will, in itself, be a violation of the Honor Code.
Academic dishonesty is serious.
It is important to recognize that applications for graduate and professional school as well as applications for employment and professional licenses frequently require the applicant to state whether he or she has been found guilty of academic dishonesty. Moreover, when the penalties of suspension and expulsion are imposed for academic dishonesty, they will be recorded permanently on a student's transcript. All students admitted to and registering in the School of Engineering shall have access to a copy of these bylaws and will be expected to read and uphold the provisions of the Honor Code. The Honor Code shall be administered by a School of Engineering Honor Council which shall be composed of seven members. The six student body members shall be appointed by the vice-president and approved by the executive council of the Engineering Student Body.
