They aren't being paid to come to an engineering solution. They are paying to learn and get a degree. Which problem has an entirely different solution space. And probably doesn't include "steal/borrow/buy problem solutions and learn nothing, graduating in 4 years to design crap that kills people"

Then design courses and exams/projects so that team work is the way to do it right. They are paying to learn how to be engineers - the most important part of any engineering project is collaboration, teamwork and project management - not memorising Von-Whatsits formula for strength of a beam

I don't want a new engineer who thinks it's cheating to look up the strength of a beam in a handbook!

One step at a time. Learning to do each skill is confounded using "teamwork" when that simply means one guy does all the work.
