Engineering classes should really switch from being homework-based to being project-based. Even something as simple as small coding projects that can be done in a week.

Then, the final project would be such that you'd have to explain your code, either in person with a TA, or by writing documentation for it.

We really need to move on from this academic mindset of homework, grades, and plagiarism toward something that is actually reflective of the world outside of academia. The concept of plagiarism doesn't really exist in the software industry -- it's a matter of what you can get done.
