Abstract
In recent times, plagiarism has attracted unprecedented attention in higher education. It is generally agreed that the advent of the Internet with the ease of access it provides to sources of information has contributed to the proliferation of the practice of plagiarism. Plagiarism has become a global problem, encouraging alliances of higher education institutions around the world, creating incentives for the development and use of highly specialised and costly software platforms in combating the phenomenon. Until recently it would have been considered inconceivable for students of electrical engineering to resort to plagiarism. Yet, it seems hard to deny that there is a disturbing trend indicating that plagiarism is on the increase. Examples range from the use of circuit designs to adopting computational code without giving any credit whatsoever to the source.
