Ethics of Computer Science

Credits: 3

Prerequisites: None

A study of the political, ethical, and social dimensions of living in a world increasingly governed and defined by networked, computational systems, from their personal everyday impacts to their planetary ones. Drawing from a mix of historical and contemporary case studies, philosophy, and science fiction, students will explore frameworks for understanding technology not merely as artifacts or products but as practice and ideology. As a final project, students will propose and prototype a framework for their own approach to ethical engineering and design.
