摘要：Higher education students are expected to develop critical analysis
and creative thinking skills, where plagiarism can damage the development
of these skills in addition to damaging the whole education
process and experience. Furthermore, plagiarism undermines the trust
between the lecturers and students and the reputation of the academic
institutions can be affected if plagiarism is not considered
seriously, where the degrees offered by these institutions can be
devalued. In this paper, two plagiarism prevention techniques followed
by two plagiarism detection techniques used in the engineering
education in the University of Southampton are presented. The plagiarism
prevention techniques presented are based on assigning individual
coursework specifications to students and the use of individual
presentation of coursework findings. Then, the plagiarism detection
techniques are based on detecting the writing styles of students and
testing the student’ codes in different configurations.
