effective for the company or client.
ACM/IEEE Code of Ethics
Abbreviation of IEEE - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

The Code contains Eight Principles related to the behavior of
and decisions made by professional software engineers are:

1. PUBLIC
2. CLIENT AND EMPLOYER

Conclusion
▪ Today the quality of software produced by
software engineers is critical to society

▪ Lives depend on the safety and reliability of


many software system include MDS ( Other
like control of air traffic , nuclear power
station )

▪ In addition to technical capability , the quality


of software products depend on the Ethics
and Professional conduct of the Engineers
that developer Develop them.
