Abstract
In recent years a tenth strand, with equal importance to programming, has emerged within the Computer Science and Information Systems discipline – that is of the legal, ethical and social nature of the computer and the Professional who makes use of the computer. With the increasing use of computers in all manner of disciplines, the correct and ethical usage of these machines and the software that runs on them becomes important. Universities are finding themselves in the business of equipping their students for life. Thus an Information Systems department within a University should prepare their students to behave ethically with the knowledge that they will learn. Various curricula are examined and a course that can be included within the Information Systems Curriculum is proposed in both a stand-alone and integrated manner. The course lists the broad topics that should be included and offers ideas for implementing the course.
