Flourishing For All: Embedding Ethics in Undergraduate Computer Science Education Through Intelligent Digital Simulations

The need for and challenges of including ethics in Computer Science (CS) education are well documented. At our university we will embed ethics in CS courses through a web-based simulation tool (Rehearsals) where students can practice scenarios based on the ACM Code of Ethics with the support of personalized AI coaching. We hypothesize that this focus on ethics will attract more historically marginalized groups of students to CS, recognizing how embodying ethical behavior such that it is part and parcel of how they show up in the world as computer scientists will contribute to flourishing for all [1].
