Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge	Version: 2004 Submitted Date: 2006/9/1
Description: Consensus on a Core Body Knowledge Is Crucial -------------------------------------------------------- In spite of the millions of software professionals worldwide and the ubiquitous presence of software in our society, software engineering has not reached the status of a legitimate engineering discipline and a recognized profession. Since 1993, the IEEE Computer Society and the ACM have been actively promoting software engineering as a profession, notably through their involvement in the IEEE Computer Society and ACM Software Engineering Coordinating Committee. In other engineering disciplines, the accreditation of university curricula and the licensing and certification of practicing professionals are taken very seriously. These activities are seen as critical to the constant upgrading of professionals and, hence, the improvement of the level of professional practice. Recognizing a core body of knowledge is pivotal to the development and accreditation of university curricula and the licensing and certification of professionals. Achieving consensus by the profession on a core body of knowledge is a key milestone in all disciplines and has been identified by the Coordinating Committee as crucial for the evolution of software engineering toward a professional status. The Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge project is an initiative completed under the auspices of this Committee to reach this consensus. Focus on Generally Accepted Knowledge ---------------------------------------------- The software engineering body of knowledge is an all-inclusive term that describes the sum of knowledge within the profession of software engineering. Since it is usually not possible to put the full body of knowledge of even an emerging discipline, such as software engineering, into a single document, there is a need for a Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge. This Guide will seek to identify and describe that subset of the body of knowledge that is generally accepted, even though software engineers must be knowledgeable not only in software engineering, but also, of course, in other related disciplines.
