$15/hour would be unlikely to have any impact on engineering internship wages, it's far too low. $15/hr is $31k per annum. 20 years ago we paid interns a pro rated wage higher than that! Today we pay our interns a pro-rated wage over 80k at the startup where I work. Are there any engineering interns paid such low wages in the western world? Double or trip $15 and you might have some impact.

The 80k salary for an intern sounds nuts to me...in the Netherlands, interns in my engineering field usually make less than minimum wage. Usually it's a few hundred euros per month. Most full-time, experienced engineers in the entire country earn a whole lot less than $80k.
