作者调查了美国四分之一的经认证的本科计算机科学课程。超过一半的这些程序提供了一个“计算的社会和伦理影响”课程由计算机科学教员讲授，似乎有一种趋势，在计算机科学系教授伦理课程。虽然决定创建一个“内部”计算机伦理课程有时可能是一个务实的反应，从认证机构的压力，本文认为，在计算机科学系的教学伦理可以为学生和教师提供众多的好处。该论文列出了计算机道德课程可以涵盖的主题，并提供了一些使课程成功的实用建议。
The author has surveyed a quarter of the accredited undergraduate computer science programs in the United States. More than half of these programs offer a “social and ethical implications of computing” course taught by a computer science faculty member, and there appears to be a trend toward teaching ethics classes within computer science departments. Although the decision to create an “in house” computer ethics course may sometimes be a pragmatic response to pressure from the accreditation agency, this paper argues that teaching ethics within a computer science department can provide students and faculty members with numerous benefits. The paper lists topics that can be covered in a computer ethics course and offers some practical suggestions for making the course successful.
