This dishonest behavior has been becoming a serious issue with the technological developments in many fields, and threatening the educational systems in engineering, science, fine art, law, nursing, medicine and pharmacies. Approximately, 70% of the public school students in the U.S. admitted that they were involved in direct and/or indirect cheating actions during the exams, homework, term projects, reports, papers and presentations using a variety of cheating techniques. These include all kinds of using cell phones, camera phones, ear phones, MP3 players, graphing calculators, iPad, texting devices, monitoring devices, multifunctional watches, etc. These issues are more curtail for the online courses, which have been gaining much popularity worldwide. In the present study, we have evaluated many of these high tech cheating systems and devices that have been a potential threat to the engineering education, and reported the possible ways of improper use of these items in the colleges. This study offers some opportunities for the faculty members, teachers and lecturers to take actions, prevent such incidences and increase the quality of the engineering education.  \nKeywords: High Tech Systems and Devices, Cheating, Threats, Engineering Education, Prevention.  \n1. Introduction  \n1.1 General Background  \n\"It's important that the research community improve perhaps as quickly as the cheating community is improving,\" was quoted by Dr. Neal Kingston, Professor in Psychology and Research in Education from the University of Kansas, who also organized a Conference on Statistical Detection of Potential Test Fraud [1] . It is basically true. Cheating has existed and has been an issue since the eternity. The standard testing methods that are adopted in schools and colleges have a high scope for cheating. Students have always come up with innovative and many very amusing ways to dodge the situation and cheat. The buddy method has been the oldest where in one can cheat off the buddy’s paper. Some of the other more typical ways include the shirt cuff method where in the student has a variety of data and formulae behind the cuffs ofthe shirt or taking notes on the desk prior to the exam (Figure 1a and 1b) and cheating off it during the exam, and many also used the big hat method where in the eye is concealed and glancing at the neighbor’s paper is easy.  \n\n| \u003Cbr>a) | \u003Cbr>b) | \u003Cbr>c) |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\nFigure 1: Various cheating ways in the colleges: a) the shirt cuff method, b) the long sleeve method, and c) the calculator cheat sheet method.  \n1.2 Smart Phone Applications Used by Students in Engineering Field  \nThere are several applications for solving various problems for engineers related to electrical, electronics, hydraulics, and calculus which are commonly used by engineers and engineering students. With an access to the smart phone during the exams, the students can access these applications and solve questions using various methods:  \nHVAC Professional: Heating Ventilation and Airconditioning (HVAC) is a comprehensive formulator that includes all 200 formulas and 18 charts, as well as the complete the International Mechanical Code. It has a variety of sections including air change, airside, boilers, BTU conversions, ductwork, energy values, heating design, heating requirements, humidity, loads, pumps, steam, temperature, waterside systems, and area calculatio","cbCaiev6w6d9KK89","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiev6w6d9KK89","pdf",315722,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## General Background\n## Smart Phone Applications Used by Students in Engineering Field\n# Different Methods of High-tech Cheating","[{\"question\":\"Why does high-tech cheating pose a serious threat to engineering education?\",\"answer\":\"High-tech cheating enables rule breaking during exams and coursework, creating unfair advantages.
