One is a set of We apply the integrative approach of Burkholder et al in rubrics to support the judgment of quality of different phases the PIFF project, making ethical deliberation part of the of a Master thesis project.
The rubrics cover the proposal Software Engineering Master Thesis work [6]. During the for a thesis, the process of conducting the thesis project, the thesis work, a student will meet a number of professional thesis report itself, as well as the oral presentation of the ethical questions and especially in thesis work with empirical work.
Each of these four rubrics state quality criteria and research such as surveys, case studies, field studies, metrics different levels of quality for each criterion. The portal contains ethics of the research itself. This is considered very important by industrial the- to support the student in this aspect of her thesis work. For the student work ethics snippet for the student. These videos are important since the PIFF snippet describes that the student will need to not all Master thesis courses have specific lecture elements exhibit: character such as integrity, dependability, respon- or room in the schedule for covering all aspects in the class; sibility etc.

Some examples are: ensuring prior ethical perspectives and allow for ethical pluralism. An overall impression is that the course by the issue of informed consent.

With all the positive experiences subjects sign an informed consent form is a good way to we have, we are definitely intended to continue giving the ensure the awareness, discussion and practical decisions on courses in the future, convinced in their indispensability for ethical issues.
We have thus developed a template informed educating future engineering professionals in general, and es- consent form which outlines the different aspects the stu- pecially Software Engineering professionals, who are among dent should consider and detail, before presenting them to those engineers who are going to meet the largest variety of the subjects see Appendix A.
