Abstract
A discussion group met during the conference to foster discussion of some social issues in software engineering (SE). Three initial questions were posed to stimulate and focus the deliberations. First, to what extent should ethics be taught in SE courses, and at what level. Second, are issues such as privacy and confidentiality adequately covered in current SE courses? Thirdly, is ethical self-assessment by students an effective learning method?
