....concerning Intellectual Virtues [2] We use some of the headings to discuss ethics in the context of safety critical systems. What is the right principle that should regulate conduct Ethical considerations are a source of much debate, in general as well as with respect to computing applications [24].

A third set of approaches are social contract theories, allowing individuals to act as rational free agents constrained by social rules. ....

....these issues from three perspectives: using a consequentialist criterion: the greatest good for the greatest number; using a deontological criterion: fulfill the most important duties; and using a Rawlsian negotiation: arguing for a just solution, regardless of social position of the stakeholders. [1] The presentation of these topics includes examples of how engineering students can participate in an examination of the issues. It is convenient to use the Web for distributing reading materials and encouraging students to find new sources on the topics. An electronic bulletin board facilitates ....
