Ethical and Professional Issues in Computing

该项目旨在让本科生教师参与一系列活动，为教授计算机伦理和专业问题的课程或课程模块做好准备。来自不同学科和不同类型机构的25名本科生教职员工参加了这次活动。他们被要求完成研讨会前的任务；在夏季参加一个为期5天的研讨会，参加一个在线论坛，并在2月份参加一个为期两天的后续会议。这些活动旨在解决教学问题和主题问题。将涵盖的主题包括计算机软件的专有权利、隐私、责任和责任、黑客攻击、风险和可靠性、民主、访问和自主权，以及计算机专业人员的职业道德。该项目响应了对在这一领域接受培训的教师日益增长的需求，因为计算机科学和工程方面的认证要求建议涵盖“计算中的社会、伦理和专业问题”。

This project is to engage undergraduate faculty in a set of activities that will prepare them to teach courses or course modules on ethical and professional issues in computing. Twenty-five undergraduate faculty from a diversity of disciplines and types of institutions are participants. They are required to do pre-workshop assignments; attend a 5-day workshop during the summer, participate in an on-line forum, and attend a two day follow-up meeting in February. The activities are designed to address pedagogical issues as well as subject matter. The subject matter topics to be covered include proprietary rights in computer software, privacy, responsibility and liability, hacking, risk and reliability, democracy, access, and autonomy, and professional ethics for computer professionals. The project responds to the growing need for faculty trained in this area as the accreditation requirements in computer science and engineering recommend coverage of "social, ethical, and professional issues in computing."
