Shaping a Digital World is suitable as a textbook for capstone courses in computer science, information technology, and computer/electrical engineering which deal with perspectival issues in the discipline.
This book has been used at Calvin University, Dordt University, Redeemer University, Bethel University, The King's University, and other schools as a text for capstone CS and engineering courses. These courses make use of the book to help provide a biblical framework for approaching issues in the discipline. Other resources are consulted alongside the book to provide further background on specific issues such as intellectual property, privacy, ethics, freedom of speech, artificial intelligence, automation, as well as computer crimes, risks and failures. Some references that provide further information on issues like these include books such as A Gift of Fire and Blown to Bits.
Are you a new faculty member in computing or engineering? You may want to read this Letter to a young professor. In addition, here are some recommended readings for new faculty.
If you are faculty member using this book in your classes, here are some resources which may be helpful:
The following are some sample syllabi of "perspectival" captsone courses (some of which make use of this book). These syllabi are being shared to provide examples of ideas and approaches that have been used for capstone courses in CS and engineering at Christian colleges and universities.
Ideally, capstone courses are part of a vital, core curriculum which can help establish a Christian perspective and an inter-disciplinary foundation for students.
Finally, how does an instructor actually connect faith and computer technology in the classroom? Here are some resources:
