Course and Section IST 110 – Section 002
Some programmers deliberately make code difficult to follow, using limited or cryptic documentation to protect their code. What are the implications of such practice? Is it legal? Is it
ethical? Is it justified?
Would this be beneficial or detrimental to business?
Some programmers make their code difficult to follow using cryptic documentation. This choice usually prevents outside sources from gaining access to the code. The consequences of leaked or stolen source code can cause damage to an organization, as it results in financial losses and a loss of trust. Many companies rely on algorithms related to payment processing or fraud detection, which run digitally. Securing the code behind these algorithms is a critical aspect of the safety of customers’ data. Recently, efforts to compromise devices and software have grown. This increase in fraudulent activity indicates that organizations must protect their source code from various risks. Code getting leaked puts companies in a vulnerable position. It also presents competitors with the opportunity to gain a tactical edge. However, if programmers encrypt their code or write it in a way that is hard to understand, it makes it challenging for outsiders to use it to their advantage. Although creating encrypted code ensures
that it is secure from outsiders, it has potential consequences for other people that need to work in the code within a company. Suppose programmers have to collaborate to create a program or source code, and one programmer encrypts their portion of the code. In that case, it could prevent other programs from understanding the program and making any necessary Print or submit your answer sheet electronically as directed by your instructor.

changes. Programmers should ultimately encrypt sensitive data during transfer and while it is stationary. It is also a good idea to monitor the data so that programmers are aware of any suspicious activity.
Overall, creating encrypted code is not illegal. Whether or not a programmer should encrypt their code depends on how secure they want it to be. If the programmer doesn’t want anyone to be able to recreate their program, it is a good choice. However, if a programmer needs to collaborate with others, their encrypted code might be extremely difficult for their colleagues to interpret and slow the efficiency of the operation.

Case Study – The New Engineer
Jeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator. This is Jeff's first position after completing his engineering degree. He had taken a course in safety engineering as part of his studies and felt confident that he could handle the job.
Management at GSI, Inc. has assured him that they are committed to maintaining a safe workplace. They have never had an individual dedicated to this task full-time. They will implement his recommendations if he can justify them.
As Jeff begins to get familiar with the operations, he spends considerable time on the production floor. He notices workers clean their tools before break with a liquid from an unmarked 55-gallon drum. They also use this liquid to clean residue from their skin. They use paper towels to dry their tools and hands, throw these towels in the trash, and head to the break room for a snack and/or smoke.

Why is it important for inventors to value IP at the ideation stage of development?
valuation will help the inventor decide if the IP right is commercialisable.
an innovative idea will sell irrespective of the cost and price
the inventor must declare the estimated value in the patent documentation

A Team of Engineers asked for an internal combustion engine to use it in a designed car. Your role is to describe the operation sequence of different types of available engines, explain their mechanical efficiency, and deliver a detailed technical report to show your approach in solving and discussing the following tasks and issues.
You must follow the following steps to help the team:
STEP 1
Describe the operational sequence of four-stroke spark ignition and four-stroke compression ignition engines with the aid of sketches by constructing simple sketch representing the operation and plotting the P-V diagrams for each process during the cycle to show the following:
The input and output heat and net output work
The expansion and compression strokes
The air-fuel mixture intake and exhaust gasses
The spark plug when it is in the active mode
The complete cycle of ideal Otto and Diesel cycles that shows the input and output heat and net output work.

In Agile:
All code should be written before test plans are created in case changes in the
code occur
Test plans should be written before coding begins
All coding should be stopped at a time in the sprint that allows adequate time to
write test plans and perform the testing
Testing is not a part of the sprint
