outweighed by an obligation to expose (other) unethical activity?To what extent is this action similar to a student viewing someone else’s unprotected computercode and then submitting it as his/her own work? Or suppose the student just viewed it, but didnot submit it; would that still be unethical? This case can serve as interesting, current, case studyin privacy rights in a computer network.1. IntroductionThe ACM/IEEE-CS Computing Curricula 2001 [1], in its Social and Professional issues area,lists seven “core” units that should be a part of any curriculum. Unit SP7 is “Privacy and civilliberties.” Students need to understand the importance of placing appropriate access restrictionson sensitive information, and of not breaching the confidentiality

The content of this advanced CAD course draws on the practicalexperience gained while making digital design tools part of a business strategy to improve designproductivity. The course thus aims at making engineering students understand both the tools andhow to make them improve the design process.

For this reason, a course in computer architecture is included as oneof the engineering core courses. The course is introductory in nature, offered at the level of asenior undergraduate or first year graduate. Despite its fundamental nature, teaching the courserepresents a major challenge for the instructor due to the diverse technical backgrounds of thestudents, many of whom are “career shifters.” That is, they are shifting into the field ofinformation science from non-technical backgrounds such

It is also the author’s belief that exposure to data acquisition toolscan be very rewarding undergraduate experiences. While students must become familiar withbasic testing equipment, the use of modern, state-of-the-art equipment and data acquisition isextremely effective in stimulating interest in undergraduate laboratories.

To that effect, we were interested in dismantling the panopticon. Weemployed a participatory design approach that extends user-centered design to allow coping withdisagreements.

The defined metrics ofperformance, proposed simulated environments, and task outlines provide a framework for evaluatingquantifiable usability for current and future cross-platform software applications. The model includesadaptations for different computing platforms in typical
