6. 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.

7. 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.

7. Ensure realistic quantitative estimates of cost, scheduling, personnel, quality and outcomes on any project on which they work or propose to work, and provide an uncertainty assessment of these estimates.

8. 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.

9. Ensure realistic quantitative estimates of cost, scheduling, personnel, quality and outcomes on any project on which they work or propose to work and provide an uncertainty assessment of these estimates.

10. Ensure realistic quantitative estimates of cost, scheduling, personnel, quality and outcomes on any project on which they work or propose to work, and provide an uncertainty assessment of these estimates.

1. 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.

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

3. Principle 7: COLLEAGUESSoftware engineers shall be fair to and supportive of their colleagues.

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.

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

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

7. In particular, those managing or leading software engineers shall, as appropriate:Ensure good management for any project on which they work, including effective procedures for promotion of quality and reduction of risk.

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

9. Principle 4: JUDGMENTSoftware engineers shall maintain integrity and independence in their professional judgment.

10. Ensure that software engineers are informed of standards before being held to them.

1. Provide for due process in hearing charges of violation of an employer's policy or of this Code.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. The Code is not simply for adjudicating the nature of questionable acts; it also has an important educational function.

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

6. 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.

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. Report significant violations of this Code to appropriate authorities when it is clear that consultation with people involved in these significant violations is impossible, counter-productive or dangerous.

10. The Code prescribes these as obligations of anyone claiming to be or aspiring to be a software engineer.

1. 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.

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

3. 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.
