9. Professional Ethics and Responsibilities

This week, we will be considering Professional Ethics and Responsibilities.

People who work in the computer field view themselves as professionals. In addition to requiring skills to create communications networks or write programs to control access to sensitive personal information, these people recognize that they have a responsibility for their actions like other professionals in legal and healthcare professions.

They understand that there are ethical issues that they must respect and handle appropriately. Having professional qualifications and a code of ethics are considered by many to be important to safeguard society in a computing environment.

FINAL PROJECT

You and your group should be developing an outline and a timeline for your client presentation wiki page. Everyone in the group should have several tasks to complete - research, writing, reviewing, editing, project management. Work collaboratively is a new experience for everyone.

If you have questions, please ask.
