This module is based on an ethics integration activity developed by Jose Cruz for Introduction to Computer classes at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez. Firstdeveloped through NSF grant SBR-9810253, it has been used in a variety of contexts including faculty development workshops, university courses in business and engineer-ing, and ethics workshops for professional societies such as the American Society for Engineering Education. This version developed through Connexions forms a part ofUPRM's NSF-funded EAC Toolkit project, NSF SES 0551779.

Instructor resources(sharing best practices in eac!)

This section contains information related to the above referenced Student Module. The intent and expectation is that the information contained in this section will evolve over time based on the experiences and collaborations of the authors and users of the Student Module and this Instructor Module. For example, the authors, collaborators or users can provide the following kind of information (mainly directed at or intended for instructors).

Module-background information

Originally, this exercise was presented in a textbook by Gary B. Shelly, Thomas J. Cashman, Misty E. Vermaat entitled, Discovering Computers 2005: A Gateway to Information, Web Enhanced-Complete,Shelly Cashman Series, Course Technology: Boston, MA. P. 589. In its initial form, it prompted students to reflect on the distinction between legal and illegal, criminal and legitimate in the context of short scenarios taken from the area of computing. However, Dr. Cruz has redesigned this exercise to introduce basic ethical issues and skills in computing. While its first instantiation occured in a presentation in a retreat held in Marciao, Puerto Rico in 1999, other instantiations include its being a regular feature in introduction to computers classes, engineering ethics classes, faculty development workshops, and special ethics across the curriculum integration efforts in Electrical Engineering. In the last version, Luis Jimenez and Efrain O'Neill used this exercise as a pre- and a post-test activity to assess the effectiveness of their more expansive module for introducing engineering ethics to students in electrical engineering capstone design courses.

This Pre-Test has been developed and refined through a variety of National Science Foundation supported grants in ethics across the curriculum in practical and professional ethics, especially NSF SBR-09810253 (1998-2000) and NSF SES 0551779 (2006-2008).

what are pathogens
Don Reply
In biology, a pathogen (Greek: πάθος pathos "suffering", "passion" and -γενής -genēs "producer of") in the oldest and broadest sense, is anything that can produce disease. A pathogen may also be referred to as an infectious agent, or simply a germ. The term pathogen came into use in the 1880s.[1][2
