A software program designed by Georgia Tech professors to detect cheating in students' computer programming homework turned up 186 possible violators, school officials say.
The students -- who were enrolled last fall in either "Introduction to Computing" or "Object Oriented Programming" -- will be investigated by the student dean's office, says Tech spokesman Bob Harty.
The program is designed to detect exact duplications of computer code.
Students found guilty of cheating could face expulsion but most likely will be given failing grades for the classes, Harty says.
