Embedded Ethics Conference: Strategies for Teaching Responsible Computing Within the Computer Science Curriculum
What is Embedded Ethics?
Embedded Ethics is an initiative to embed an ethics-based curriculum into core undergraduate computing courses. By weaving discussions of ethics, policy, and professional responsibility throughout the computing curricula, the initiative addresses the responsibilities of designers and users of technology.
The conference offered broad discussions applicable to creating effective ethics education programs, covering the full life cycle of program creation, development, and implementation. Panelists from different universities addressed how to get institutional buy-in to create a new ethics initiative and how to structure a successful program once you have, while instructors presented live teaching demonstrations and ethics curricula.
