013 ACM_sp, Social and Professional Issues
Undergraduates need to understand the basic cultural, social, legal, and
ethical issues inherent in the discipline of computing They should understand
where the discipline has been, where it is, and where it is heading They
should also understand their individual roles in this process, as well
as appreciate the philosophical questions, technical problems, and aesthetic
values that play an important part in the development of the discipline
Students also need to develop the ability to ask serious questions about
the social impact of computing and to evaluate proposed answers to those
questions Future practitioners must be able to anticipate the impact of
introducing a given product into a given environment Will that product
enhance or degrade the quality of life? What will the impact be upon individuals,
groups, and institutions? Finally, students need to be aware of the basic
legal rights of software and hardware vendors and users, and they also
need to appreciate the ethical values that are the basis for those rights
Future practitioners must understand the responsibility that they will
bear, and the possible consequences of failure They must understand their
own limitations as well as the limitations of their tools All practitioners
must make a long-term commitment to remaining current in their chosen
specialties and in the discipline of computing as a whole.
