To begin, it doesn't seem as if you are maliciously trying to hurt the engineers or give yourself an advantage over the students. It also doesn't seem like you were purposely trying to find flaws.
I would talk to a teacher, academic advisor, or even the tech people in the library to find out what you can do. Explain that you are only trying to make things better and not publish exploits.
The suggestion about sending something in the regular mail could be a good one. I would type up a professional and respectful letter saying how you found it, what the repercussions are of such an exploit, suggestions on how to fix it, and possibly include a CD with your code on it. You don't need a return address and its anonymous so you don't have to be so nervous.
I was watching TV and it was either The Learning Channel or Discovery where they did a special on sex. They had some various interviews. In one of them, there was a company that was designing a special body suit that you can wear and experience all the feelings of having sex without actually doing it. They went on to say that people would be able to have cyber sex, rent dvds, or even use another mentioned piece of technology to feel sex.
This other technology was a box about the size of a VCR and displayed holographic images. You could pop in a DVD and have a holograph of a woman in front of you while wearing the suit.
It was a pretty interesting special none the less.
I am with you on this one man. It's such crap what they have started doing. Eventually people are going to get so pissed off that NOONE will be buying music. GG RIAA.

Oddly enough, it has already started happening.
