Computer Science Codes of Ethics

The Computer Science Program at Florida Tech expects that anyone who uses our computers, networks and software will do so in a responsible manner. We have developed a ``code of honor'' to which students taking Computer Science classes will be held.

The University has a (draft) policy on the responsible use of information technology. The scope of this policy is broad and applies not only to students taking Computer Science classes, but to everyone using the information technology resources provided by Florida Tech.

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has adopted a Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. This code applies specifically to Computer Science professionals; all Computer Science students must learn it. The ACM also has a draft Software Engineering Code of Ethics, which all of all Computer Science students must learn as well.
