Position paper: Ethics in training forsoftware developers

Ethical and social aspects of software projects are hardly considered in current computer science education. While it is now well known that successful projects require interdisciplinary teams of software developers, designers and experts from the application domain, the teams are rarely supplemented by disciplines from the humanities spectrum. In this article, concrete proposals are made for
supplementing computer science education so that future developers are better equipped to meet the ethical and social challenges of digitalisation.
