A survey of computer science programs shows over half offer ethics courses taught by computer science faculty. This trend offers benefits for students and faculty in computer science ethics education.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science Education
  • Ethics in Technology

Background:

  • Accreditation agencies increasingly emphasize ethics in computer science curricula.
  • There is a growing trend of integrating ethics courses within computer science departments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey the prevalence of 'social and ethical implications of computing' courses in US undergraduate computer science programs.
  • To argue for the benefits of teaching computer ethics within computer science departments.
  • To provide practical guidance on course content and successful implementation.

Main Methods:

  • Survey of a representative sample of accredited undergraduate computer science programs in the United States.

Main Results:

  • Over half of surveyed programs offer a dedicated ethics course.
