Additionally, students may enroll in a summer class focusing on computer ethics (CSC 491, Computer Ethics) that satisfies the ethics requirements for the minor. It is not listed as a philosophy class in the UIS catalog since it requires some competency in the area of computer science (such as the ability to build a data-base). Students who have taken an introduction to computer science course or have basic engineering skills should be able to successfully complete this course. Interested students should contact Dr. Keith Miller at (217) 206-6770 to obtain permission to register for the class. | |||||||||||||||
