Software Quality (CISQ) document ‘The Cost of Poor Software Quality inthe US: A 20220 Report’, “the cost of poor software quality in the US has grown to at least $2.41trillion”. The report goes on to state “by 2025, 40% of IT budgets will be spent simplymaintaining TD, and it’s a primary reason that many modernization projects fail”.In short, the software industry is drowning in TD, and by extension one can surmise ethical debtis in turn dramatically rising. Hence the quality of our global digital culture is degrading onseveral levels, a sobering unhealthy trend.A number of improvement recommendations have been posed by CISQ, which revolve around aDevQualOps Model [27]. Areas for improvement include: 1. Quality standards/software problemtaxonomies

saw a tremendous increase in federal funding of academic research.Seely describes the magnitude of this change: An avalanche of federal money, primarily from the military and the Atomic Energy Commission, displaced the smaller industrial research projects that had been conducted by a few engineering colleges before 1940. Trade associations had been the key research supporters in the 1930s, and a few thousand dollars a year constituted a large project. After 1945, however, federal grants worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars a year supported not just researchers but entire graduate programs with marvelous new facilities and expensive equipment [8, p. 289].This increase in

Rodr´ıguez-Simmonds is a Visiting Assistant Professor in Human-Centered Engineering at Boston College. Before receiving his Ph.D. in Engineering Education, he earned his master’s degree in electrical and computer engineering. H´ector’s research primarily investigates how students negotiate their visible and less visible identities as they form their professional identity, specifically at the intersection of their racial/ethnic, sexual orientation, gender, and engineering identities. H´ector’s research projects range from autoethnographic inquiries that investigate culturally informed collaborative qualitative

Enhancing Reflective PracticesDu et. al [12] explores the development of critical reflection among Chinese universityinstructors during a six-month Problem-Based Learning (PBL) program in Denmark. Usingprogressive portfolios, team project reports, and focus group interviews, the study provided bothqualitative and quantitative insights into the participants' reflective processes [12].

, often conflated with engineeringjudgment, serves only as a contributing factor or may occasionally be used to justify judgmentsafter the fact. The engineers in Gainsburg’s study identified engineering judgment with tasks likedetermining sufficient precision for calculations, making modeling assumptions, and sometimesoverriding mathematical results. Petroski’s [3] analysis of engineering failures similarlyemphasizes judgment’s role throughout the design process, noting that “the first and mostindispensable design tool is judgment” that both initiates projects and monitors their execution.However, engineering education typically emphasizes technical competencies over judgment-based skills, with the Grinter Report noting that “the ability to deal
