The recent publications in the field highlight a significant shift towards integrating ethical considerations and computational efficiency into technology development and education. A notable trend is the application of economic models to evaluate the impact of high-performance computing investments in academic institutions, suggesting a broader applicability of such models beyond their initial scope. Additionally, there's a growing emphasis on embedding virtue ethics into technology design, moving from theoretical frameworks to practical design patterns that promote ethical technology use. Cybersecurity training is also advancing, with the use of hypervisors to create more sophisticated and secure virtual environments for simulating cyber threats. Furthermore, the importance of computational science education is underscored by studies evaluating the outcomes of graduate internships, which are shown to enhance students' skills and interest in sustainability and renewable energy topics. Lastly, the development of a standardized tool to measure students' attitudes towards ethical reflection in computing education marks a significant step forward in assessing and improving ethics education in the field.
