Each student is required to independently write and submit a research paper that advances an original argument. The topic must be related to the U.S. governmental systems and its operations. Therefore, topics must be posted to the Research Paper Forum no later than the end of the Module 2 week to be approved by the Instructor. No two students may select the same research topic. The topic/premise must focus on a problem or project from relatively current workplace safety legislation/regulation/judicial decision or some combination thereof relating, preferably, to the field of aviation, or as otherwise approved by the instructor. The selected legislation / regulation / judicial decision project should be actual and contemporary.
