Information Ethics and Social Issues in the Undergraduate Computer Science Curriculum: A Curriculum Development and Implementation Report
This paper will report on a National Science Foundation funded project designed to advance information security in postsecondary education through the development and integration of information ethics and social issues in the undergraduate computer science curriculum. In this paper, we will report the rationale for the project, methods used to improve the instructional capability of computer science and security faculty with respect to emerging sociological and ethical issues associated with information assurance and security, and methods used to develop and test curricular materials. The authors will share examples of the curriculum materials developed as a result of the project.
CISSE recognizes that the protection of information and infrastructures that are used to create, store, process, and communicate information is vital to business continuity and security. The goal of The Colloquium is to work together to define current and emerging requirements for information assurance education and to influence and encourage the development and expansion of information assurance curricula, especially at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
