1-Introduction
A predictor is a skill that requires a high level of education and practical experience in the field.
Medicine and law are two popular professions. We pay doctors and lawyers well, trusting them to
accurately diagnose and treat our medical and legal issues ... Professionals have a separate
responsibility They have to make sure that their work is for the good of those who depend on them.
In this case study we focus on the ethical decisions made by those who design, implement and
maintain computer hardware and software systems. We explain the eight principles a professional
software engineer has developed in his or her professional life. We determine how other people are
treated, how they work, how they treat others, how they treat their equipment and boss, and so on.
Finally, I will briefly describe these eight ethics as a professional software engineer. y We consider
playing a key role in shaping the organizational ether that allows or defeats internal distrust.
Software engineering ethics can be approached in three directions. First, it can explain the practical
choices of software engineers who influence other people in important ways. Second, it can be used to
describe a set of principles, guidelines, or ethical requirements that guide or guide the legislative
process, and third, it can be called a discipline. Who studies the relationship between the other two
senses of ethics. A good decision in software engineering requires awareness and reflection on both
technical and ethical aspects.

2-what is software engineering?

Software engineering Multi-version software is a multifaceted construction of an engineering
discipline.

3-when the software engineering code of ethics and

professional practices adopted?

As a professional, they must adhere to a code of ethics that embodies ethical principles. The IEEE
Computer Society and the Association for Computer Machinery adopted the end of 1998 professional
practices.

4-Purpose of professional principals of software engineer

The principals of software engineers are usually set up by unscrupulous professionals to protect the
reputation of the public and professionals. Those who break the software engineer's own principals
maintain the disciplinary process that can lead to dismissal from any offer or order of their profession.

5-Examples of professional Ethics

Organizations can define their ethics in terms of the number of single components. These are honesty,
integrity, transparency, accountability, confidentiality, respect, purpose, obedience to the law and
loyalty.

6-SHORT VERSION
The short version of the code summarizes the aspirations at the highest level of the abstract. Software
engineers will commit themselves to making analysis, specification, design, development, testing, and
software maintenance a profitable and respectable profession. In line with their commitment to health,
safety and public welfare, software engineers will follow the following eight principles.
1. Public. software engineers will work permanently with the public interest.
2. Client and employer. Software engineers will work in the best interest of their client and
employer, in the public interest.
3. Products. Software engineers will ensure that their products and related modifications meet the
highest professional standards possible.
4. Decision. Software engineers will maintain integrity and independence in their professional
decisions.
5. Management. Software engineering managers and leaders will subscribe and promote an ethical
approach to managing software development and maintenance.
6. Profession. Software engineers will advance the integrity and credibility of the profession in the
public interest.
7. Colleagues. Software engineers will be appropriate and support their colleagues.
8. Self. Software engineers will participate in lifelong learning of their profession and develop an
ethical approach to the profession.

7- Theory
Computers have a central and growing role in trade, industry, government, medicine, education,
entertainment, and society at large. Software engineers are those who participate in the analysis,
description, design, development, certification, maintenance, and testing of software systems through
direct participation or education. Because of their role in developing software systems, software
engineers are able to do better or harm others, to do good or harm others, or to do good or harm
others. There are significant opportunities for empowerment. As much as possible, to ensure that their
efforts are put to good use, software engineers must commit themselves to making software
engineering a profitable and respected profession. In line with this commitment, software engineers
will adhere to the following code of ethics and professional practice.

9-Summary

A computer-related job, such as system administration, computer programming, or software

engineering, is not a complete profession, such as medicine or law, because you do not need
to be certified or licensed to design, implement, or maintain a computer. Hardware or
software For these reasons, the two largest computing societies have worked together to
develop a code of ethics to guide the actions of software engineers: those who develop or
maintain software. Are, or teach in this field. The Software Engineering Code of Ethics and
Professional Practice is based on eight general principles related to the following disciplines:
public, client and employer, product, decision, administration, profession, partner and self.
The Code of Ethics requires software engineers to think if their actions are worthy of the
ideal professional. Virtue, or moral virtue, is based on imitating a morally high role model.
