• Abstract: The next generation of computer engineers and scientists must be proficient in not just the technical knowledge required to analyze, optimize, and create emerging microelectronics systems, but also with the skills required to make ethical decisions during design. Teaching computer ethics in computing curricula is therefore becoming an important requirement with significant ramifications for our increasingly connected and computing-reliant society. In this paper, we reflect on the many challenges and questions with effectively integrating ethics into modern computing curricula. We describe a case study of integrating ethics modules into the computer engineering curricula at Colorado State University.

• The Ethics of AI in Education [0.0]
  The transition of Artificial Intelligence from a lab-based science to live human contexts brings into sharp focus many historic, socio-cultural biases, inequalities, and moral dilemmas. Questions that have been raised regarding the broader ethics of AI are also relevant for AI in Education (AIED) AIED raises further challenges related to the impact of its technologies on users, how such technologies might be used to reinforce or alter the way that we learn and teach, and what we, as a society and individuals, value as outcomes of education.

We outline a simulation-based MAP program to design computers that use physics itself to solve optimization problems. We expect to introduce a new era of innovative collaboration between materials researchers and computer scientists.
