Well for tests, let students have a formula sheet. I don't understand why in this day and age we need to learn everything by heart, when in the real world everything is 1 search query away.
Or you can just forbid all TI calculators with memory, and just have them work with a $10 special(but thats just a way to screw over the kids).
Then you can have smaller classes. Its a little harder to cheat in a 20 person class, compared to a 300 person auditorium.
For big projects etc, split those in a lot of parts. This way the students won't be tempted to cheat, when they remember that they have a 40 page paper due tomorrow.

I think this is exactly the problem. When formula sheets are allowed it is reinforced that you need not learn the material, but instead just know that you'll be able to plug and chug. Sure, you may be able to look it up later, but in class students should truly understand the material not simply know where to plug in which numbers. However, if you truly know the material intuition and the ability to derive the formulas will give evidence that you truly understand the material.
That basically describes my school's math department. The classes are small, usually around 20-25 once you finish calc1. The only calculators they allow in test are the cheap 10 function ones, and the professor will actually bring them into the class the day of the test.
Also, it seems like most of my technical classes put most emphasis on the tests. Tests are usually worth 50% to 80% of the final grade. So while I don't usually see blatant cheating, it seems like the engineering department has acknowledged that some students will end up just copying problem solutions, and responded by basing most of your grade on tests.
In order for everything to be a search query away, you need to know what terms to search for; I've known students to do reasonably well without even that level of competency in a subject.
