Told my alma mater the same thing for a 5 years post graduation survey. Mind you, I was on the free software club, for example, and ethic was always there for some of us. But I encourage everyone to write to the director of their Comp. sci. / Eng. departement to ask them why is this field not deserving of ethical questioning and/or what do they plan on doing to fix this. I know lots of 20 yo might consider this a boring waste of time or not understand the importance of this kind of education, but sadly that reaction makes this an even more pressing issue to think about and would alone justify the teaching of ethics in the context of this field's short history... We're on the verge of big fights to preserve and improve the Internet's openness & neutrality along accessible general purpose computing for all and other basic foundations some are taking for granted while lobbies are fighting against them. But the future of free speech depends on this education and foreshadowing by an educated population... Not enough people are fighting back and older politicians need to be shown a few things we might see coming before the rest of the population is able to catch up. (N.B. Same goes for many fields, but computing is now such an important and direct part of the social tissue, got there so fast, that it's getting even more important everyday.)
