Title: Teaching Computer Ethics Via Current News Articles
Abstract: Many engineering and Computer Science students need to take a course in computer ethics, and many others could benefit from such a course as an aspect of good citizenship. However, many students cannot appreciate a course organized along the lines of traditional categories of ethics. Additionally, undergraduates generally prefer articles that are relevant to their own lives. This paper provides a discussion of new and current articles in areas of computer ethics that we believe are relevant to students. We have classified the articles by features rather than by a preexisting classification. We expect that the use of current news articles will increase students’ understanding of this material and enhance their interest in ethical dilemmas inherent in modern computer systems.
