Teaching the Code and Ethics in Computing: the Message from SIGCSE2018.

For the last several years, SIGCAS has sponsored a half-day workshop before the SIGCSE (Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education) conference, often along with a BOF (Birds-of-a-Feather) Session. This year the focus was on presenting the latest version of the updates to the Professional Code of Ethics [1] under development by COPE and both the pre-symposium workshop (Strategies for Integrating the Updated Code of Ethics into the Computing Curriculum) and the BOF discussed ways of bringing the code into different technical classes and spreading it along with ethics education throughout the curriculum. This report outlines what was discussed in the workshop and BOF, along with other highlights from the SIGCSE2018 conference that may be of interest to SIGCAS members. While not comprehensive, it should give readers the references and context most relevant from the conference. The main message - in today's world every subject within computing has some impact on society and that impact should be taught along with the subject matter.
