The results indicated thatperhaps two general open-ended questions might be more effective: who in your programteaches engineering students about ethics (such as codes, ethical theories, etc.); who in yourprogram teaches students about the societal impacts of technology (macroethical issues such assustainability, bioethics, environmental impacts, safety, poverty, etc.). The “such as” lists can beadjusted.

ModulesAbstractIn modern computing and engineering programs, new course materials need to be addedregularly in a flexible manner. The concept of course modules has been suggested as oneapproach to doing this; a course module, which is a self-contained unit of curriculumsuch as a lab or teaching component, can be included into existing courses withoutrequiring substantial course or program modifications. In this paper, the authors describetheir experiences in incorporating new curricula into computer science and engineeringcurricula at their three institutions, including Rochester Institute of Technology, HowardUniversity, and SUNY at Oswego. The relatively new paradigm of Service-OrientedProgramming (SOP) was introduced into their programs using course
