Farewell

To all my students,

At the end of this semester I want to say thank you to the students I have had the privilege of working with during the software engineering course. In the past months I have seen some really outstanding student performance. You’ve been a great class, and I appreciate your enthusiasm to work, and your commitment to learning. I particularly appreciate those of you keen to improve the quality of this course through feedback and suggestions.

I really appreciate your openness especially in the “project winners” post.  I saw responses which really shows the maturity of our students’  communication skills . This debate shows that you don’t only learn how to be a good software engineer, but also how to debate, and enhance critical thinking, reasoning, and ccommunication skills. It is important to develop these skills as it is important to advance academically. It is important to develop attitudes of open-mindedness, fairness, and tolerance for the viewpoints of others. Rest assured that I have read all your comments and took them into consideration when evaluating your grades.

This drives me to ask you what you thik of the CAP312 course and the CAP312 blog?  Here is a survey to say what you think: http://s-x3nz8-50159.sgizmo.com

Finally, I hope you enjoyed this course as much as I did and I look forward to seeing you in future courses, and hearing about your success.

Congratulations, and please keep in touch.

Dr. Maha

Software Engineering Code of Ethics Assignment

Well done to everyone  you all did a great job. I really enjoyed reading your answers to the ethics case especially the contributions of:

• Hawra Al-Rabaan (Good description of alternative options for Nora, but one alternative is not ethical, and one is not possible. Can anyone spot these? 
• Bashayer Alkhuwater (Good description of alternative ways to convince the CEO, director of computing, and director of personnel to include her security plan)
• Bedour Abouammah (Good argument and It is nice to relate to Islam)
• Razan Al-Mezroo’ ( Good to show related sections of the codes and how Nora (and not Mona) should act)
• Ramah
• Eman Al-obathani

In general, you all agreed that Nora should not complete the project unless her requirements are satisfied or at least she convinced them to increase the project’s budget.  That is right, she should act in accordance with the software engineering code of ethics 1.03, which states that a software engineer:

“Approve software only if they have a well-founded belief that it is safe, meets specifications, passes appropriate tests, and does not diminish quality of life, diminish privacy or harm the environment. The ultimate effect of the work should be to the public good.”

 

Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice

Read the document located at http://www.acm.org/about/se-code  and then read the following case ethics_case and post your answer on the weblog. Remember to sign your post with your identity (First name, Id number, section number).

Closing date (Due date): Friday 25-5-1429 at 12 noon 

Your reply is moderated, which means that you will not see it until the closing date.  

Note: This is an optional  bonus exercise.

You may post your answer in Arabic if you wish  (Classic-Fusha- Arabic only).
