    local non-profit organization on company time.

    If 35 engineers donated 15 hours per week, that would amount to about 1.3 million dollars per

    employment as a tax immunity.

    QUESTION # 03

    You are the head of a computer science department at a university.


    Your boss
    (a “dean”) wants you to find a way to tweak your curriculum so
    undergrads are more likely to choose your department for their
    major.

    them skilled perspective. The responsibility is to seek out how to tweak engineering
    science course of study therefore on attract additional collegian students and it ought to be
    done by behaving ethically.

    Our excellent employee record speaks for itself. Over 95 per cent of our graduate gain
    employment or go on to further study within six months of leaving York. In addition, a recent
    research has shown that our Computer Science graduates can expect to earn nearly £50,000
    per year after the first five years of their career.

    Legally:
    Our reliable position as one of the best computer science universities in Pakistan is a result of
    our excellence in both teaching and research, and our strong search links with industry should
    help us respond to the challenge of leaving the education university.

    We offer postgraduate, undergraduate, and professional progress and training courses. Our
    strong industry ties ensure that what we teach is current with current trends in such a fast-

    QUESTION #04
    You are a software engineer working at a large publicly-traded
    corporation, where a colleague invents a new kind of compiler. Your
    managers see it as a huge potential cash cow.
    Morally & Ethically:
    The only legal issue you'll do is counsel him to talk with associate degree employment professional
    person. perhaps there's one thing in his employment contract and distinctive work state of affairs that
    nullify.
    Legally
    Finding a legal loophole or a technical error in an exceedingly accept order to induce out of one
    thing you volitionally united to so as to profit monetarily from one thing that belongs to some
    other person isn't moral. There are not any ethical ambiguity during this case.

    QUESTION # 05

    You are a software engineer at a company where management


    routinely encourages you and your colleagues to use pirated
    software.
    Morally
    Tell your boss that if the corporate is mistreatment free pirated package, it
    might solely be truthful to distribute all the company's package for gratis. Of course, it
    might still be unethical to present away purloined merchandise, even as  it's unethical to
    present away purloined merchandise in a very store, however a minimum of it
    might be truthful.

    Ethically:
    Of course, your management will not do it, but at the very least, they will consider it. However,
    I doubt they have done so, and if you don't like it there, they will most likely tell you to look for
    another job.

    Legally:
    Anyhow, it all starts with communication; discover what is driving their behavior, why they
    are doing it, and whether or not there area unit the other choices.
