You’re going to be disappointed asking computer scientists to think about ethics like an engineer would

Why? It’s a extreme minority of universities that *require* ethics for undergraduate CS

How prevalent is it? Well looking at the courses for 20 universities and you’ll find only 10-15% require it

In mechanical, civil etc…engineering in the US it is required in %30 of undergraduate degrees

In the US and Canada ethics study are required to take your PE exam but notably there is no PE exam requirement for CS jobs

It’s also not part of the culture, and it’s an even more extreme rarity in industry.
