3. A final 10 page paper (single-spaced) report on your internship. This needs to reflect quality technical writing. This should include:
   1. Your name
   2. Details about your job (i.e. what you did, how you got the job)
   3. Valuable insights you have gained from the experience including how it might influence your future career

Campus Integrity Policy

1. A student found guilty of plagiarism or cheating will receive an “F”(zero) for that particular paper, assignment or exam. Should this occur, the professor will have an interview with the student and will submit a written report of the incident to the academic dean.
2. If a second offense should occur, the student will be asked to appear before the professor, the academic dean and the vice president for student development.
   
   

The student should realize that at this point continuation in a course and even his/her academic career may be in jeopardy. In the event of a recommendation for dismissal, the matter shall be referred to the Student Development Committee.”

AI Use Policy

It is expected that any coursework (including, but not limited to, essays, papers, exams, projects, and lab reports) submitted by a student will be a product of their own creation, demonstrating their achievement of the learning outcomes related to the assigned task. With this in mind, note that submitting work that includes unauthorized or undocumented use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be considered as cheating or plagiarism. If you are unsure about appropriate use of AI on a given assignment, talk with your professor.
