  One thing that stuck with me when I was taking a graduate course on network protocol design as an undergrad was overhearing the lamentations of a computer engineering student over having to deal the the ethics part of the curriculum, and how it was a waste of time. I heard this mind, as someone who spent quite a bit of time in the Philosophy department. I had no idea that sentiment would be as widespread as the last few decades have made it obvious that it is.
