, the training extends beyond this course alone.) 5. How? A question that is in my experience universally not addressed is how to negotiate the workplace and advocate for ethical behavior. This is particularly critical for early career professionals who may not have the power in the workplace to be able to speak up for or effectuate ethical behavior. This part also explicitly brings in professional codes, ex: ACM [8].THE QUESTION DIRECTED TEACHING AND LEARNING MODEL: THE WHY, WHO, WHAT, WHERE, HOW, AND WHEN OF TECH ETHICS 1.

%. We assigned “grades” of A, B, C, D, or F based on the traditionalbreak lines (A > 90, 90 < B < 80, 80 < C < 70, 70 < D < 60, and F < 60). With these results, wecould look at the "grade distribution" and set goals for the percentages of A & B grades (i.e. >0.80) versus C, D, and F (< 0.80) that one might desire.In addition to analyzing each survey response, we also analyzed the data resulting from eachquestion individually. We computed the average score for each question and compared the scoresacross universities, and within university programs, comparing control populations with thosewho had a teamwork intervention of some kind.Data Analysis MethodsWe make statistical comparisons using the parametric, two

Internal Company Debate: A scenario involving a company considering adopting a new technology that is impacted by the particular ethics topic (e.g., ethics of using open-source software in a product intended for commercialization). Specific teams are asked to represent “adoption,” while some teams are asked to oppose adoption. The “adoption” and “oppose adoption” teams create a list of reasons to support their position. The rest of the class play the role of upper management, tasked with making the final adoption decision. c.
