Comments on Recommendation This recommendation has particular application respecting the Code of Conduct for Companies/Organizations Sponsoring Student Final Year Projects. It suggests that the IEEE take more of an advocacy role in protecting the rights of Engineering Students. As regular judges of student final year projects, we have observed a trend where for very minimal investment by companies and organizations, students have developed capabilities and end products (particularly in the field of software engineering) that are being exploited for profit without the student(s) receiving compensation.
