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

2. These obligations are founded in the software engineer’

3. Improve their understanding of the software and related documents on which they work and of the environment in which they will be used.

3. Credit fully the work of others and refrain from taking undue credit.

4. Work to follow professional standards, when available, that are most appropriate for the task at hand, departing from these only when ethically or technically justified.

5. These Principles should influence software engineers to consider broadly who is affected by their work; to examine if they and their colleagues are treating other human beings with due respect; to consider how the public, if reasonably well informed, would view their decisions; to analyze how the least empowered will be affected by their decisions; and to consider whether their acts would be judged worthy of the ideal professional working as a software engineer.

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

7. 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.

8. In accordance with that commitment, software engineers shall adhere to the following Code of Ethics and Professional Practice.

9. Ensure that software engineers know the employer's policies and procedures for protecting passwords, files and information that is confidential to the employer or confidential to others.

10. In particular, software engineers shall, as appropriate:Accept full responsibility for their own work.

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

2. As this Code expresses the consensus of the profession on ethical issues, it is a means to educate both the public and aspiring professionals about the ethical obligations of all software engineers.

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

4. Ensure that clients, employers, and supervisors know of the software engineer's commitment to this Code of ethics, and the subsequent ramifications of such commitment.

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. 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.

7. Recognize that personal violations of this Code are inconsistent with being a professional software engineer.

8. Recognize that violations of this Code are inconsistent with being a professional software engineer.

9. In accordance with that commitment, software engineers shall adhere to the following Code of Ethics and Professional Practice.

10. Express concerns to the people involved when significant violations of this Code are detected unless this is impossible, counter-productive, or dangerous.

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

2. The Code is not a simple ethical algorithm that generates ethical decisions.

3. These situations require the software engineer to use ethical judgment to act in a manner which is most consistent with the spirit of the Code of Ethics and Professional Practice, given the circumstances.

4. Principle 8: SELFSoftware engineers shall participate in lifelong learning regarding the practice of their profession and shall promote an ethical approach to the practice of the profession.
