    Licensing requirements for professional software engineers vary globally. In the UK and parts of Canada, software engineers can be licensed or designated as professional engineers. In the US, licensing is debated but some states like Texas regulate the use of the term "engineer." The IEEE and ACM, the main software engineering professional organizations, publish guides defining the field and knowledge expected of software engineers, including the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge and a Code of Ethics.

    Main article: Software engineer


    Legal requirements for the licensing or certification of professional software engineers vary
    around the world. In the UK, the British Computer Society licenses software engineers and
    members of the society can also become Chartered Engineers (CEng), while in some areas of
    Canada, such as Alberta, Ontario,
    [22]
    and Quebec, software engineers can hold the Professional
    Engineer (P.Eng) designation and/or the Information Systems Professional (I.S.P.) designation.
    In Canada, there is a legal requirement to have P.Eng when one wants to use the title "engineer"
    or practice "software engineering".
    The United States, starting from 2013 offer an NCEES Professional Engineer exam for Software
    Engineering, thereby allowing Software Engineers to be licensed and recognized.
    [23]
    Mandatory
    licensing is currently still largely debated, and perceived as controversial. In some parts of the
    US such as Texas, the use of the term Engineer is regulated by law and reserved only for use by
    individuals who have a Professional Engineer license. The IEEE informs the professional
    engineer license is not required unless the individual would work for public where health of
    others could be at risk if the engineer was not fully qualified to required standards by the
    particular state. Professional engineer licenses are specific to the state which has awarded them,
    and have to be regularly retaken.
    The IEEE Computer Society and the ACM, the two main US-based professional organizations of
    software engineering, publish guides to the profession of software engineering. The IEEE's
    Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge - 2004 Version, or SWEBOK, defines the
    field and describes the knowledge the IEEE expects a practicing software engineer to have.
    Currently, the SWEBOK v3 is being produced and will likely be released in mid-2013.
    [24]
    The
    IEEE also promulgates a "Software Engineering Code of Ethics".
