Remember if you include a concept that you did not know before researching this term paper, you must attribute the source, even if you do not use a direct quote.

Please refer to this as the topic when reading instructions, anything else you need let me know. Keep in mind, the name of this course is Legal Aspects of Engineering. Take your time, if you need more time, it is NO problem, quality over quantity, it is due at the end fo the semester but I would rather have it done asap. Thank you!
Topic – Unpaid Internships, exploitation of college students with already too much on their plates. Luckily most engineering jobs are paid internships, but what if eventually most become unpaid, and how to avoid that, ethics of it, etc. (I chose this topic, but if for some reason you find a better topic that is easier, go for it)
Format: A ten-page term paper. The format for the term paper is double spaced, 12-point, Times New Roman font, with one-inch margins. Please number each page and include a cover page (not included in the page count).
Choose a topic that you have or will likely encounter at work as a project manager, engineer or design professional. Using basic legal research tools, identify and explain the legal issue. Next, explain the specific “law” or legal concepts that apply, how courts generally rule in these types of cases and finally what steps can have be taken to avoid this legal issue in the future.
Write your term paper from the point of view of an employee explaining to senior management how to alter, or how to include specific practices to avoid legal complications or for additional legal protection. Term papers should be full of analysis, and include your viewpoints and understanding of how to resolve or improve the situation. Be sure to include personal analysis in your term paper. I am very interested to see how you analyze the legal situation based on the research you have found.
Term papers must include a complete list of sources (at least 5-7). Quotes taken directly from a source must have quotation marks and appropriate citations. Please cite all sources with footnotes or parenthetical citations. You can use any citation format, as long as it is consistent. Remember if you include a concept that you did not know before researching this term paper, you must attribute the source, even if you do not use a direct quote. Thoroughness of research, clarity and your ability to apply legal research to the specific facts of the “case.” Personal analysis of the situation is key.
