4. s humanity, in special care owed to people affected by the work of software engineers, and the unique elements of the practice of software engineering.

5. However, even in this generality, the Code provides support for software engineers and managers of software engineers who need to take positive action in a specific case by documenting the ethical stance of the profession.

6. The Code helps to define those actions that are ethically improper to request of a software engineer or teams of software engineers.

7. Attract potential software engineers only by full and accurate description of the conditions of employment.

8. In particular, software engineers shall, as appropriate:Encourage colleagues to adhere to this Code.

9. Principle 6: PROFESSIONSoftware engineers shall advance the integrity and reputation of the profession consistent with the public interest.

10. However, even in this generality, the Code provides support for software engineers and managers of software engineers who need to take positive action in a specific case by documenting the ethical stance of the profession.

1. Improve their knowledge of this Code, its interpretation, and its application to their work.

2. Not influence others to undertake any action that involves a breach of this Code.

3. In all these judgments concern for the health, safety and welfare of the public is primary; that is, the "Public Interest" is central to this Code.
