PRINCIPLE 6: PROFESSION

6.02. Promote public knowledge of software engineering.

We publish our book among the children and give a chance to download the book from the internet. We consider it as a promoting software engineering profession to the public. Anyone who is interested in IT can get a clear idea by studying the book.  The book will be able to help the students who are willing to learn basics of IT and following IT as a subject in the school. One of our main aim is to share knowledge by using the services available in the internet as everyone can access it. So it was somehow promote the software engineering profession among the public.

6.04. Support, as members of a profession, other software engineers striving to follow this Code.

This is the first time we have used the code of Ethics for software engineers. It was a great experience to use it. As a team we have encouraged all the members of the team to follow the code of ethics related to this charity project as it will be a valuable investment for everyone to improve their professional experience.  

6.06. Obey all laws governing their work, unless, in exceptional circumstances, such compliance is inconsistent with the public interest.

When we have taken some guidance from an external source we have always mentioned it in the book to avoid copyright problems. Also we have taken the guidance from a lecturer and supervisors to improve the accuracy. So we can reduce the bad effects that can be caused to the user. As a team we have worked hard to achieve the common goal of the team and we have followed our own team rules and regulations to improve the efficiency.   

6.08. Take responsibility for detecting, correcting, and reporting errors in software and associated documents on which they work.

This project has been done by us so we have to responsible all the errors and other problems of the project. We tested and checked all the details of the video to avoid the errors. We have got the recommendation from the lecturers, IT expert people and batch-mates before distributing the book to the public.
