Addressing ethical issues in computer graphics curricula

Many professional educators who instruct courses in computer graphics programs have been mindful of teaching students those subjects required to become successful graduates in their field of study. However, many teachers and professors believe that we have not ensured that their students have always been properly prepared to deal with ethical issues associated with the work they will do in industry and business once they enter the world of work. We have not given adequate attention to the moral preparation that must also attend academic endeavors. Serious attention must be given to including courses in ethics that concentrate on the impact that computer graphics is having on a global scale.
