Question

1. Use contemporary newspaper accounts to find information on problems with Intel’s Pentium computer chip (1995) and with runway concrete at the Denver PROBLEMS 54 Problems International Airport (1994). Analyze these cases, using virtue ethics. Start by deciding what virtues are important for people in these businesses (e.g., honesty, fairness, etc.). Then see if these virtues were exhibited by the engineers working for these companies.

2. Develop a list of values that you think are important to being a successful engineer. This list will probably include things such as engineering knowledge and technical skills that are not ethical in nature. For the values that are ethical, think about where these values come from and how you came to hold them.

3. Discuss with a fellow student or faculty member who grew up in a different culture, what their ethical values are, and how those values are reflected in their daily life. Develop a list of values that are common between your culture and their culture.

4. As a computer engineer, how should the government generally address the Cybersecurity issues? How do you think can Computer Engineers help in this case?

Answer 1

1) Virtues

• Wisdom
• Honest
• Courage
• Temperance
• Justice
• Responsibility
• Comitment
• Trustworthy

Virtues are acquired habits that enable us to engage effectively in rational activities. Virtues are desirable ways of relating to other individuals, groups, and organizations.

2) Value to be a  successful engineer

• Lear with curiosity
• Strive for simplicity
• Articulate your mental model
• Ship fast, Sustainability
• Fix problem when they are not yours(Team Goals)

3) Each and every culture says that, we should be confident, correct and commitmented.

This practise of interacting with different culture people will give you the awareness of what is wrong and what is right.

4) The goverment can address the cyber security issue by following this:

• Have a plan that explicitly adressess authentication
• Recognise the security limitations of shared secrets
• Ensure authentication solutions support mobile
• Don,t prescribe any single technology or solution- focus on standards and outcomes
• Encouragewidespread adoption authentication solutions that are easy to use.
• Understand that the old barriers to strong authentication no longer apply
• Know that privacy matters
• Use biometrics appropriately

A computer engineer place an important role in cyber security, The applications developed should not be in breacheble state. The trouble shooting after the attack should be done properly.
