About: Gray Matters for the Hughes Aircraft Case
Metadata
| Name: | Gray Matters for the Hughes Aircraft Case |
| ID: | m14036 |
| Language: | English (en) |
| Summary: | The Hughes case has been extensively researched by Chuck Huff from St. Olaf College with the results published at www.computingcases.org. It will also be one of 10 cases to be included in a textbook on computer ethics entitled, Good Computing: A Virtue Approach to Computer Ethics under contract with Jones & Bartlett with Chuck Huff, William Frey, and Jose Cruz as authors. This module takes three decision points from the case and has students evaluate these using three ethics tests (reversibility, harm/beneficence, and publicity) and a feasibility test. This module is designed to give students experience integrating ethical considerations into real world decision making. This module is being developed as a part of an NSF-funded project, "Collaborative Development of Ethics Across the Curriculum Resources and Sharing of Best Practices," NSF SES 0551779. |

| Changes: | This is a new module designed to use the Hughes Aircraft case as an exercise in decision making. Students are provided with three scenarios, solution alternatives, and ethics and feasibility tests. They use the tests to evaluation solution alternatives and, if they are so inclined, to design a newer and better solution to the scenario. |
