The interviewees came from two departments atone large university in the southern United States. Therefore, findings drawn from theirperspectives are limited in their generalizability. Despite these limitations, however, we didreach a level of data saturation with our current sample which gives us confidence in the findingswe did

The team explored the issue and were asked to prepare a 20-minute class discussionon the news story and related ethical concerns. Thereafter, the presenting team incorporated whatthey learned from the class discussion to create a short video that can be used in future courseofferings or other courses in the CSCE curriculum.The assignment for the 20-minute ethics discussion required the student teams to avoidconducting a standard presentation, and instead required them to design an

shortcomingsThe results of this study indicate that foreign language affects ethical reasoning and moralintuitions in different ways. It affects ethical reasoning in the manner hypothesized, but notmoral intuitions. To an extent, previous research can help to make sense of these findings.As was mentioned, research has found that people are more likely to endorse ostensiblydisgusting [15] and sacrificial behaviors in a foreign than a native language [16]. Since disgustjudgements concern issues of sanctity and denigration [10], it would make sense that participantswould score higher on measures of sanctity in a native than a foreign language.

This could help take the onus of new ethics based content creationoff the faculty member’s shoulders and still be used related to their course without giving upprecious lecture time.We also received feedback from students that in previous iterations of the required, senior-levelethics and professional issues in computing course, there were some lectures where the free andopen discussion became difficult

The past couple of years has also seen the coming together of CS educators around the issue ofthinking about and developing guidelines for the Teaching of Responsible Computing [2]. While theseare welcome developments the style of teaching ethics tends to stay at one of two extremes. A courseheavily focused on the philosophy of ethics and a course that spends a great deal of time consideringthe impacts and harms of technology, particularly for speci�ic application areas such as AI [1]. Bothapproaches are valuable in their own way, but a concern for me has been that neither of theseapproaches equips students with how to actively engage in ethics throughout their future

flexibility opens upthe possibility of increasing the number of faculty qualified to teach engineering ethics but alsocreates ambiguity about the knowledge base on which engineering ethics relies. One possibleexplanation for the lack of clarity is that engineering ethics is fundamentally interdisciplinary,which means that no particular area of disciplinary expertise is uniquely relevant.In their discussion of “Interdisciplinarity in Ethics,” Mitcham and Wang argue that “Ethics isinherently interdisciplinary, yet not always pursued as such” [21, p. 241]. Its strongestdisciplinary association is with philosophy, but “Especially in its contemporary applied orpractical versions, ethics is a hybrid of disciplinary concerns in, for example biomedical
