That same slacker is probably doing just as much work as you because they learned how to be efficient in University.
I think that's part of the reason Engineering is so lax on cheating/group work for assignments. There was a day set up at the beginning of every year to distribute people's old lab manuals. If you did engineering 201 without a 'road map', you are terrible at time management.
When you get a job after university it's not important that you come up with the answers yourself, it's important to come up with the correct answer in a timely fashion. If you have to work with others around you, look at other's work published on the Internet, it doesn't matter. I honestly think cheating your way through engineering helps you develop a good chunk of the skill set that you'll use for future problem solving.

This is why things engineered in North America are built so well.
