Ethics and Professionalism For each of the following sets of software systems: 1. Pick one of the systems listed. 2. Pick one general area of software engineering from among the following: planning, functional requirements, non-functional requirements, project management, and testing. (Your choice here should be different for parts (a), (b) and (c).) 3. Describe a specific way in which a lack of professional conduct in this area, for this system, could lead to a harmful outcome. How to do well in this question Do not just "explain ethics". For each system, you must tell a cautionary story about something specific that could go wrong, and hurt people, given a lapse of ethical/professional judgement. Don't cover everything that might go wrong (breadth). Rather, focus on providing convincing details of a single thing that "did" go wrong (depth). Your story should not need words like "if", "might", "should", etc. Describe it as if it actually happened. Give names to the people involved if it helps focus your attention (though without defaming real people). Marks for this question will depend on the specificity (degree of detail) and plausibility of your answers. You will not receive marks for rewriting examples already given in the unit material. Make yours different! (a) Set 1 (pick one of the following): A system for archiving top-secret government communications. [3 marks] A system for storing and making available historical, public-domain books and photography. A system for collecting and processing real-time data from radiotelescopes. 1. Set 2 (pick one of the following): An educational game used in schools to promote mathematical learning. A dancing/fitness game involving body motion capture. A flight simulator for training pilots. 1. Set 3 (pick one of the following): An online system for customers to purchase and inquire about second-hand cars. [3 marks] [3 marks] A system for controlling rides at a theme park (amusement park). A system for quality-controlling (through cameras, sensors, Al, etc.) the manufacture of various electronics.
