Find a specific case, one that falls within a particular professional community of practice, to investigate. Cases can be found in journals in engineering, business, and computer science, many highlight cases in every issue. PART 1: Find a specific case, one that falls within a particular professional community of practice, to investigate. Cases can be found in journals in engineering, business, and computer science, many highlight cases in every issue. You can also locate cases on the internet; simply do a search for “ethical cases — engineering,” or “ethical cases – computer engineering,” or the like. Professors in your own discipline can also direct you to cases. You may use a case that you are familiar with from your own experience, as well as the websites for the professional societies mentioned in class—IEEE, ASME, NSPE, ACM. Provide a statement of the following: 1. The factual issues: This will include the historical facts of the situation— what happened that causes there to be a dilemma in the first place? 2. The ethical issues: What is the ethical issue you will focus on? Your choice will fall into one of the following categories: Honestly and Truth-telling, Risk and Safety, Employer/Employee Relations, or Environmental Impact. While most ethical issues that arise in any case will fall into multiple categories, focus on one category to circumscribe your discussion. 3. What ethical concepts are at stake? Here, depending on the category you choose, provide working definitions for the concepts. Say for instance, that you choose Employer/Employee Relations— provide a few characteristics of a positive working relationship. If you choose either of the first two categories mentioned, then define what honesty or risk (for example) mean in the case. 4. Who are the principals in the case? There may be lots of principals in the statement of the factual issues, but in this section, you also want to make it clear which principals are involved in the ethical issue. 5. What code of ethics will you use? PART 2: The annotated bibliography MUST include at least three (3) sources that come from peer-reviewed journal articles or chapters from books. Your bibliography can also include other relevant literature as well, and cite cases from the literature that are similar to the case you are writing on. Overall, you may have up to 8 sources. For each source, please use either MLA or APA format and include the following: 1. Bibliographic information (i.e., the author, title, publisher, etc.). 2. Summary: What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? 3. Reflection and Assessment: How does this source help you shape your argument? How can you use it in your research project? Finally, each Part should be at least 1 page each, type-written, double-spaced, 12pt font in Calibri, Times New Roman or Verdana. 1” margins on all sides. At this point in the process, there is no need to quote any source directly; but you will need to cite the sources (with footnotes) in Part 1. I have attached two documents. One is a PDF of an OWL-Purdue handout—“Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing” that will help you. The other document is the list of unacceptable cases.
