commercial implementations need new training in ethicsbefore developing the applications for global and distributed geographies. For the pastfew decades most computer users in the test measurement and analysis fields have beentrying and relying on the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) over Transmission ControlProtocol (TCP), but TCP though reliable requires an acknowledgement and produceslong round trip time as well as possibility of infiltration when in wireless mode or cyberspace. This should be as much a topic of ethics in computer communication andengineering field but also in computer science education in cyber security.

While students enter an engineering program expecting a particular experience, thelessons from the pandemic demonstrate the value of assisting students in learning to learn in avariety of platforms. Cultivating a variety of modes of learning facilitates students’ adaptabilityand the ability to shift platforms in future disruptions to work and learning environments.

colonialbackdrop.This brief overview of the literature illustrates the potential limitations of traditional approachesto research ethics when applied to qualitative research, a challenge that is crucially important forthe growing discourse around the use of interpretive methods in engineering education. Theanalysis of prior work in the areas of feminist and de-colonizing methodologies points to theinherent link between considering ethics as an integral part of research and the holistic quality ofresearch findings. In the following we build on this discussion to explore a practice-based way ofintegrating ethical considerations into the research process as part of a larger, cohesiveconsideration of research quality.Theoretical frameworkThe Quality Framework that

Student teams are responsible for the design decisions of theirassigned component, as well as ensuring that components are compatible for use in the larger,class-wide system. Other highlights of the PLP system are: a „hands-on‟ experience with realhardware early in the computer engineering curriculum, low overall cost for students andinstitutions, and cross-course application of concepts. The latter is of great importance sincestudents often fail to see how concepts learned in one course apply to another.With an overarching system like PLP, where different aspects of
