School of Engineering Academic Conduct
Academic Misconduct
Academic misconduct undermines the purpose of education. Such behavior is a serious violation of the trust that must exist among faculty and students for a university to nurture intellectual growth and development. Academic misconduct can generally be defined as all acts of dishonesty in an academic or related matter. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to the following categories of behavior:
-
Abetting
Helping another student commit an act of academic dishonesty. Allowing someone to copy your quiz answers, or use your work as their own are examples of abetting.
-
Cheating
Use or attempted use of unauthorized materials, information, study aids, the answers of others, or computer-related information.
-
Plagiarism
Claiming as your own the ideas, words, data, computer programs, creative compositions, art work, etc., done by someone else. Examples include improper citation of referenced works, use of commercially available scholarly papers, failure to cite sources, copying other’s ideas.
-
Fabrication
Presenting as genuine falsified data, citations, quotations.
-
Misrepresentation
Falsification, alteration or misstatement of the contents of documents, academic work or other materials related to academic matters, including representing work substantially done for one class as work done for another without receiving prior approval from the instructor.
Violations
Violations of the Academic Code of Conduct are punishable by a range of penalties from receiving a failing grade on an assignment or examination to an F in the course. Any course grade of F for academic misconduct supersedes any other grade or notation for that class.
In the event of a suspected violation of the Academic Code of Conduct, the following procedure is followed:
- Upon reaching the conclusion that academic dishonesty may have occurred and that action is warranted, the instructor should inform the student of the charge as soon as possible. The student has the right to hear the instructor’s reasons for making the charge, to inspect all relevant evidence in the instructor’s possession, and to respond to the charge. Based on the student’s response and all the evidence, the instructor will determine if a penalty is appropriate. If a penalty is deemed appropriate, the instructor informs the student of the action to be taken. If the student is not in agreement with the findings or the penalty, the instructor will provide the student with a written statement of the action taken and the basis for it. A copy of this letter will be sent to the department chair.
- Within two weeks of this notification of a judgment of academic dishonesty, the student may appeal the instructor’s decision by letter to the chair of the department. The chair or her/her designee, acting expeditiously, should take testimony from the student, the instructor, and all appropriate witnesses, and make a decision. If the chair or designee reverses the finding of academic misconduct, the instructor must re-examine the work in question and assign credit without prejudice. In the event that the chair or designee is the instructor in the course, the Dean or his/her designee will replace the chair in the appeal process.
- In those cases where a grade of F is assigned in the course and the student has utilized the appeal process described in (2) above, the student has two weeks to appeal the decision by letter to the Dean of the School responsible for the course. The Dean or his/her designee, acting expeditiously, should take testimony from the student, the instructor, the chair or appropriate designee, and all appropriate witnesses, and make the final decision.
- In cases where the final decision concerning an academic misconduct charge is an F for the course, a letter to this effect will be sent to the office of the registrar and kept on file.
A student who has received the grade of F for two instances of academic misconduct will be expelled from the University. The student will be duly informed of the pending expulsion and will be provided the opportunity to be heard. The student has two weeks after notification to request in writing a hearing with the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Programs and Faculty Affairs. Students expelled for academic misconduct will have it noted on their transcript.
Examples of Academic Misconduct
-
Assignments for Credit
Each student is expected to do his or her own assignments, homework, computer programs, design projects, and laboratory reports. Unless stated otherwise by the instructor, discussion of assignments between students is not permissible. In carrying out computer assignments, each student is expected to do his or her own preliminary calculations to establish the compilation required for an assignment, establish his or her own logic path to accomplish the task, and program that logic without assistance. Merely changing variable names, statement numbers, or the precise form of Input/Output statements (PRINT vs. WRITE, etc.) does not constitute a logic change. No student should submit as his or her own work, a solution copied from any source including, but not limited to, a solution manual, commercial or industrial documents, work of another student in the course, work of any person not in the course, or work of an instructor. The instructor has the right and the responsibility to decide if an unacceptable degree of similarity exists.
-
Tests and Examinations
It is absolutely essential that each student do his or her own work on tests and examinations. Therefore, the following rules apply:
- Talking, whispering, whistling, or tapping are not permitted during any test or examination.
- Looking at anyone else's test or examination paper or notes during a test or examination is not permitted.
- Passing notes or making written material visible to another student is forbidden. On a multi-page test or examination, all pages should be turned face down except the one currently being worked on.
- In the case of an "open book" or “open notes” test or examination, only those books or materials specified by the course instructor may be used. Solution manuals are not permitted.
- Student use of electronic devices (i.e., calculators, etc) during any test or examination is at the course instructor’s discretion.
- In the case of "closed book, closed notes" tests or examinations, a student may not have notes hidden in secret anywhere within the room or in the area.
- If for any reason a student must leave the room prior to completion of the test or examination, he or she must obtain the Instructor's (or proctor's) permission. No more than one person may be out of the room at any time.
- lt is the responsibility of the instructor to decide if any portion of a student's test or examination has been copied from an unacceptable source or from another student.
Enforcement
If the instructor observes academic misconduct, he or she will take the offending student's material, and communicate a charge of academic misconduct to the student and to the department or designee, thereby invoking the academic misconduct policy and procedures described in above. These rules are not to be construed as an all-inclusive list of rules pertaining to academic misconduct. lt is only reasonable to expect that situations will arise which are not explicitly covered here. Since academic misconduct will not be tolerated, it is the right and responsibility of the instructor to determine if academic misconduct has occurred in any situation. Both the instructor and student may use these explicit rules as guidelines in determining what constitutes academic misconduct in circumstances other than those detailed here.
Student Grievances
Judgments on academic matters can most appropriately be made by individuals with expertise in the particular academic discipline involved. For this reason, complaints by students on academic matters are the responsibility of the department and school involved. Normally, such complaints can be resolved quickly through discussions with the faculty directly involved. In rare situations where such resolution does not occur, the student should contact the chair of the appropriate academic department. If the matter cannot be settled within the department, it may be forwarded to the Dean or his/her designee for the school in which the department is located. At the Dean or his/her designee’s discretion, an advisory panel may be appointed to study the disagreement and make a recommendation to the Dean or his/her designee. However, it is the responsibility and prerogative of the Dean or his/her designee alone to make a decision on any academic disputes which have not been resolved at lower levels, and the decision of the Dean or his/her designee is final.
Nonacademic Misconduct
The university is a community of scholars and learners; therefore, all participants are expected to maintain conduct that:
- facilitates the institution’s pursuit of its educational objectives,
- exhibits a regard for the rights of other members of the academic community, and
- provides safety to property and persons.
Through appropriate due process procedures, disciplinary action will be taken in response to conduct which violates these principles. A more detailed description of non-academic misconduct can be found in the student conduct code. It is the student’s responsibility to be fully aware of the policies and procedures described in Direction. The Vice President for Student Affairs has the responsibility for coordinating policies and procedures regarding students’ non-academic misconduct.

Internships & Co-ops
- Professional experience and hands-on learning are critical elements of an Engineering education at UAB. Internships and co-ops allow students to directly explore career opportunities, apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting, and gain valuable experience that gives a keen advantage when seeking full-time work upon graduation.
- Internships typically take place full-time over the summer and must be professional in nature. Co-ops comprise full-time work with an employer over an academic semester (fall or spring) and over multiple semesters. Returning to the same employer over multiple semesters allows students to participate in long-term projects, development, and industry networking. Employers use internship and co-op programs to provide a talent pipeline for full-time engineering roles.
- UAB Engineering students who participate in an internship or co-op should enroll in the appropriate course to track their experience. Students must register before the work semester begins. Internship/co-op courses cannot be added retroactively.
- Students on a UAB scholarship must submit an “appeal form” through the Office of Undergraduate Scholarships no later than the Friday before the first day of classes for the semester of co-op work. That form is found in BlazerNET. Approval by the Office of Undergraduate Scholarships is based on registration in an appropriate internship/co-op course for that semester.

UAB has many degree programs (both on-campus and online) that can lead to professional licensure or certification (PLC). Licensure requirements vary from state to state and by professional organization. UAB is working to develop an online, publicly accessible database, to assist in providing this state-by-state information. In the meantime, if you are interested in learning about potential professional licensure requirements in your state for a specific degree program, please contact the UAB State Authorization office at
The specific requirements for engineering licensure can differ from state to state. For information on the licensure process in each state, consult the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) website.
NSPE does not license Professional Engineers. Licensing authority and requirements for PEs fall under the jurisdiction of the licensing board for the state, district, or country in which an engineer practices. The national organization that represents the state boards is the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES).
