“…However, despite their worthy efforts, algorithms continue to fail, suggesting that stronger professional and legal changes are needed. Teaching students and professionals about ethical practices and professional codes of ethics is a key step (14). Another useful approach is to present well-documented case studies of how developers gain trust from operators and then engage with them to repair problems, while identifying possible improvements (15).…”

“…when their educational mission is emphasized (Gotterbarn et al 1999), and when the person implementing them learns to look beyond the code. The code must teach that some forms of behavior are unacceptable, and that at the same time there may be more than one good answer for each ethical problem, not all of which can be contained within the code.…”

In this paper we present the authors' experience of teaching a course in Ethics for Engineers, which has been delivered four times in three different universities in Spain and Chile. We begin by presenting the material context of the course (its place within the university program, the number of students attending, its duration, etc.), and especially the intellectual background of the participating students, in terms of their previous understanding of philosophy in general, and of ethics in particular. Next we set out the objectives of the course and the main topics addressed, as well as the methodology and teaching resources employed to have students achieve a genuine philosophical reflection on the ethical aspects of the profession, starting from their own mindset as engineers. Finally we offer some results based on opinion surveys of the students, as well as a more personal assessment by the authors, recapitulating the most significant achievements of the course and indicating its underlying Socratic structure.

“…The distinction between rules and principles is particularly important for ESE researchers since some of their research practices are not covered by existing regulations (Sieber, 2001a;Singer and Vinson, 2002). In order to conduct research ethically, ESE researchers must not simply rely on complying with the rules but must be able to apply ethical principles to their particular circumstances (Gotterbarn et al, 1999). Accordingly, our goals in this chapter are to introduce the topic of research ethics, aid researchers with the ethics review process, and foster ethical decision-making in the context of ESE research.…”

The popularity of empirical methods in software engineering research is on the rise. Surveys, experiments, metrics, case studies, and field studies are examples of empirical methods used to investigate both software engineering processes and products. The increased application of such methods has also brought about an increase in discussions about adapting these methods to the particularities of software engineering. In contrast, the ethical issues raised by empirical methods have received little attention in the software engineering literature. In this chapter, we introduce four ethics principles of primary importance for conducting ethical research. We additionally discuss and provide examples of applying these principles in the context of ethics review.
