Computing Science: Ethical and Professional Issues

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Computing Science: Ethical and Professional Issues
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1) describe basic concepts and trends related to the role of science and technology in an international society (ethics, philosophy of science & technology). 2) apply the basic concepts and trends of learning goal 1 to concrete examples (case studies) whereby the central focus is the relationship between science, technology and society. 3) reflect on the relation between science, technology and society and his/her role in this as a professional. 4) find and judge literature and refer to this literature in an academic correct way, both in the text as well as in the reference list of the paper. 5) clearly display findings from research in a written and oral form in cooperation with fellow students and provide feedback on papers from fellow students.
Omschrijving	During the course the student will be introduced to basic concepts related to the role of science and technology in an international society. This includes ethics, science philosophy and professional attitude. During lectures the literature will be explained and discussed. During the tutorials the theory is applied on specific cases of which your paper will be one of the cases. In addition to the lectures and the exam, a paper should be written in groups of four students. The primary guidance during the writing of the paper is done by teaching assistants.

Entreevoorwaarden
Opmerkingen	In the academic year 2020-2021, all CS bachelor courses have limited enrollment: - CS students can always enter each course, regardless of whether the course is mandatory for them or not. - A maximum of only 20 places per course is available for non-CS students. These places are filled on a first-come-first-served basis, with priority given to students with a strong CS-related background (e.g., CS exchange students, AI students, etc.). These students need to meet the course prerequisite requirements as mentioned on Ocasys. See here for more info about the enrollment procedure. This course was registered last year with course code WBCS14001
