Embedding Ethics and Professional Issues in the Computer Science Undergraduate Curriculum Floriana Grasso University of Liverpool
Challenge From Motivating computer scientists to engage with professional issues - A technology-led approach S. White, H.C. Davis, 2013 Learning and Teaching in Computing and Engineering: Around 70% of the cohort are in degree steams which require mathematics at advanced level as an entry requirement The majority will have studied only STEM subjects during their higher level immediate pre-university qualifying studies The majority of students (according to in-class straw polls) specifically choose a technical subject for their degree in order to avoid subjects which include any volume of required reading or writing. Students are taking a single major technical degree and do not intend to take any minor subjects outside of that technical focus
PI pit stops In Year 1: COMP107 (Graduates for the Digital Society) In Year 2: COMP221 (Planning your career) COMP208 (Group Software Project) (Year in Industry or Year Abroad) In Year 3: COMP390 (Honours Year Computer Science Project) (In Year 4: 1st and 2nd semester projects)
COMP107: a project based approach What you normally find on PI within a CS degree: how to start becoming a computing professional the bigger picture of computing how to improve your transferable/employability skills Often all is crammed in one module with lots of information which remains quite abstract and detached from the rest University of Liverpool novel approach: PI in action a practical project throughout the module to help crystallise notions
