Precision farming is an optimized management farming scheme that seeks to link the real-time needs of crops with the nutrients to be administered. Sensing platforms that can monitor the physiological status of crops in situ are key to enabling timely and localized interventions. However, the underdevelopment of plant sensing strategies limits the potential of precision farming. In this Review, we discuss the challenges and advancements in phyto-monitoring, focusing on strategies that are applicable to a wide range of plant species and suitable for field deployment. We explore species-agnostic sensors, including optical and electrochemical sensors, whose operation is based on principles that are widely applicable to all plant species. These platforms enable real-time monitoring of the physiological state of crops by assessing key biomarkers, such as plant hormones, and metabolites such as salicylic acid and reactive oxygen species. Evaluating these systems, we conclude that an integrative sensing approach is necessary to compensate for the limitations of the individual methods and can provide a holistic view of crop health. Cost-effective species-agnostic sensors are thus needed to provide information that can be used to minimize the resource footprint of farming and meet the growing global demand.
In engineeringprograms throughout the US, "engineering ethics" is taught in a variety of ways and methods. One of the more robust methods to address engineering ethics is the classical case study approach. ...

The engineering profession has clearly embraced the importance of ethical behavior among students and working professional engineers. The prevalence of unethical behaviors, such as plagiarism, among college students has increased significantly in the past 30 years10. Research suggests that science and technology students have the highest levels of cheating including plagiarism10. University educators often debate whether plagiarism is committed willfully or unintentionally out of ignorance and research investigating this area appears equivocal. Therefore, we sought to investigate first-semester freshmen engineering students' understanding of plagiarism at a science and technology university. Nearly 1,100 first year engineering students at a Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) completed an online survey and corresponding quiz designed to assess their understanding of plagiarism, and a self-report measure of their perceived academic integrity. The vast majority of students were recent high school graduates from the United States. Males outnumbered female students, as is the case in the freshmen engineering class and student body at the university and across the country. Participants rated themselves as 5.5 on a 7-point Likert scale of ethical behavior (0 = "not at all ethical" and 7 = "extremely ethical"). Only 5.2% of participants rated themselves below the mid-point on the ethical behavior scale. Additionally, approximately 93% reported having previous training or educational experience about cheating, plagiarism, and/or student misconduct. Three items on the survey provided a passage and then specifically assessed students' ability to determine whether a sentence related to the passage was plagiarized. Response options included "yes", "no", and "I don't know". For the three questions;60%, 38%, and 87%;respectively, selected the correct answer. The incorrect answer was selected 33%, 51%, and 4% of the time. "I don't know" was selected 7%, 10
