Overview:
Engineering and legal principles govern most everything in our society today. This course examines and explains the practical application of the law to engineering, and assists the engineer in industry, higher education, and life. Topics focus on intellectual property law, business and contract law, tort law, and engineering ethics. Discussions explore patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, specifically what they are, how to obtain them, how to use them, and how to lose them. Additionally, the class considers how businesses are started and governed, product liability law, and the ethical duties an engineer owes to an employer and the public. This course is applicable to all engineering disciplines.
