	ACM: Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice
		Software engineers are those who contribute by direct participation or by teaching, to the analysis, specification, design, development, certification, maintenance and testing of software systems.
		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.
		Software engineers shall participate in lifelong learning regarding the practice of their profession and shall promote an ethical approach to the practice of the profession.

	Software engineering demographics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Engineering technicians (526,170) are considered to have less education, skill, or experience than engineers.
		This means that software engineering education is 56% the size of traditional engineering education.
		Software engineers are part of the much larger software, hardware, application, and operations community.

	Software engineering
		Software engineering is much younger than civil engineering and electronic engineering and much older than space engineering[?] and biological engineering.
		Software engineering is already as predicatable and reliable as many fields of engineering, such as space engineering, biological engineering.
		Software engineering arose out of the so called software crisis of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, when many software projects had bad endings.

		The article concludes that empirical Software Engineering is likely to grow in importance but that there remain challenges, not least in assessing large scale processes and artifacts, in dealing with the human or creative aspects of processes and in overcoming the publication bias against ‘negative’ results.
		Computing professionalism is not yet well-defined in many countries due to a combination of two factors: relative immaturity of the field when compared to the other engineering or science-based professions and a lack of culture and social recognition.
		Educational framework, training curriculum proposals, codes of ethics and professional conduct, professional profiles, certification, etc: all of these are burning issues whose influence on the future of the software engineering profession is already apparent.

	Software Engineering Professionalism
		As the packaged software industry reached its middle age around 1985, it was difficult for an individual programmer to have an impact.
		Software had to be marketed via traditional media, burned onto a physical medium, put into a fancy package, and shipped to a retailer.
		It is thus now within a programmer's power to improve his or her practice as a software engineering professional, where the definition of professional is similar to that used in medicine.

	ArsDigita Systems Journal: Redefining Professionalism for Software Engineers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A truly professional programmer would be able to overlook the racism and bigotry of a fool and make valuable contrabutions in spite of it.
		One of the approaches to narrowing the range of subjective views of professionalism might be to build consensus on specific sets of measurable domain criteria for professionalism.
		Though someone may be a brilliant code-writer, he may still be a lousy software engineer due to the lack of these other attributes (which all ultimately boil down to an ability and desire to communicate).

	ICSE 2001: Workshops
		It is surprising that these essentially software driven technologies have not yet fully penetrated the software engineering research community and are not widely applied when compared to the more traditional engineering disciplines.
		Software engineers often face problems associated with the balancing of competing constraints, trade-offs between concerns and requirement imprecision.
		The goal of the workshop is to broaden awareness within the software engineering community of metaheuristic algorithms and their application to software engineering problems and to bring together researchers and practitioners in software engineering and metaheuristics to build upon the embryonic community which currently occupies the intersection of the two fields.

	Software Engineering, Professionalism & Liability
		It argues that the real issue is professional ethics, reasoning that ethical responsibilities need the formality of explicit qualification standards of education and practice in order to enforce true quality objectives in the face of economic pressures.
		The talk also references articles in the special issue of ACM Communications, 11/2002, Should Software Engineering be Licensed, and Watts Humphrey’s, The Future of Software Engineering, http://Interactive.sei.cmu.edu.
		He recently testified before the California Board of Registration for Engineers, arguing that software engineering should be added as an engineering specialty under the professional engineering laws.

	Tom DeMarco: "On Professionalism"
		If you draw the general rule that a professional's promise- keeping obligation is as simple as 'don't blab what you learned in confidence,' then you condone the employee's silence about toxic pollution at the same time you celebrate doctors and lawyers and clergy and their firm resolve not to compromise those who confide in them.
		They were all professionals to the extent that they passed the four P-tests: they were proficient at what they did, they were permanent in their involvement, they professed their dedication and they had a code of promises arbitrated by a permanent ethical sense.
		One who manages a group of engineers, tends to think of himself or herself as an engineer; one who manages a group of physicians tends to think of himself or herself as a physician.

		Software Engineering Professionalism: Is the End of Constraints and Conflicts in Sight?
		Even though we have seen some trends towards software engineering professionalism, the end of the long and winding road is not yet in sight.
		The strongest resistance comes from our own inertia, such as the lack of an independent body of knowledge, the confusions in accountability and responsibility, and the obstacles in certification and licensing.

	The Logo language and the Logo style
		In the software engineering approach, students are being trained primarily to be disciplined in their programming style, so that their code can easily fit in with other people's code.
		Software engineers talk about object oriented programming, for example, primarily as an advance in information hiding: An OOP language is one in which procedures as well as data have very tightly limited scopes.
		The proliferation of special-purpose software tuned to each of these application areas raises the question of whether we can reasonably expect any general-purpose programming language to be a good match in every case.
