Answer 1

Using one or more actual engineering-related cases as well as some workable ethical theories, argue whether or not the SECEPP is a coherent and comprehensive code of conduct for the computing/IT profession. In the support for your argument, describe some virtues of the ethical codes of conduct adopted by professional societies such as the ACM and IEEE-CS, and list some shortcomings of these professional codes as well. In your final analysis, discuss whether the advantages of having a code outweigh the prospects of not having one. General Guidelines • Note: Your thesis must be argued using at least one of the “workable” ethical theories that have been covered in readings/lecture. However, unlike recitations, feel free to draw in more than one ethical theory if it will help you defend your thesis in a clear manner. • Paper Length: 1,000 – 1,500 words or longer (not including front matter or references) • Reference/Citation Format: Consistently use one of MLA, APA, or Chicago/Turabian. • Rubric: The grading rubric for this assignment is contained on the next page.
