Ethics Activities in Computer Science Courses Robert Rz}er & Don Golterbarn East Tennessee State University It is important that ethics activities fit seamless/y into the technical content of a course and relate directly to the course topics. n our workshop at CQL 96 we argued that one of the most effective ways to introduce ethics to computer science stu dents is by the use of a variety of ethics activities in technical computer science courses taught by the regular computer science faculty. Following this method demonstrates to students that ethical/professional content is a fundamental component of Computer Science. Ethical/professional issues are seen in the context of computing professionals practicing their profession. The integration of ethical/professional issues into existing computer science curriculum helps to dispel the perception that ethical, social, and professional issues less important or neatly separable from computer science. It firmly establishes a link between ethical/social issues and technical content, methods, and practices of profession The knowledge that policies and/or standards (e.g. guidelines, codes of ethics and conduct) exist does positively influence behavior.
