Graduated with highest honors from a top engineering school and never once considered cheating

• tzs 14d ago
  "Top engineering school" probably makes a big difference. I too went to a top STEM school (Caltech). Most STEM classes were taught at a fast pace, and later classes assumed you knew the material from your early classes well. Occasional cheating might work but anything more would almost certainly send you on a path of falling farther and farther behind, requiring more and more cheating, and there were enough things where you would have to work with other students on projects that people would quickly find out you have no idea what you are doing.
