Beyond assessment security: A critical policy analysis of four alternative strategies to uphold academic integrity and adopt the GenAI transformation of teaching and learning for an accredited engineering degree

Author's biography Sasha Nikolic is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Wollongong with a PhD in Engineering Education. He has worked in academia and industry. Dr. Nikolic has received multiple teaching and learning awards, including Australian Awards for University Teaching in 2012 and 2019, and AAEE awards in 2019 and 2023. He served in multiple governance roles with IEEE, and is an Associate Editor of the European Journal of Engineering Education. He currently serves as President for both the Australasian Association of Engineering Education and the Australasian Artificial Intelligence in Engineering Education Centre, where he leads multi-institutional initiatives on Generative AI. Dr; Montserrat Ros is an Associate Professor in the School of Electrical, Computer & Telecommunications Engineering and Associate Dean Education in the Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences at the University of Wollongong, Australia. Montse graduated from a BE(Comp. Sys)/BSc(Math) with First Class Honours in 2000 and obtained her Ph.D. in Computer Engineering in 2007; both from the University of Queensland, Australia. Her research interests include Embedded Systems, Internet of Things, Sensor Networks Data Fusion, Code Compression and Engineering Education and has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers. Montse was awarded a 2019 Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning at the Australian Awards for University Teaching; and was named a UOW 2016 Woman of Impact for inspiring the young STEM generation. Dr; Yasir M. Al-Abdeli (Ph.D. USyd 2004) is an Associate Dean Teaching and Learning in a School of Engineering. Whilst his main areas of applied research are Thermofluids and energy, he has published on a number of topics within engineering education, including flipped classes and problem-based learning. He has a passion for continuous change in higher education enabled by technological change coupled, sound curriculum design, and good pedagogy so as to support learners in their lifelong learning. He is the co-founder of a community of practice on blended learning in Perth, Western Australia. Dr; Helen Fairweather is Head of Accreditation at Engineers Australia. She has over a decade of experience as an environmental engineering academic at the University of the Sunshine Coast, where she integrated professional and academic experience into the engineering curriculum during a period of significant societal change. Dr Fairweather now applies this expertise to influence the engineering profession at a national level. Her recent work has focused on promoting diversity in engineering education and highlighting the critical role of engineers in advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
