Instruction in ethics is rapidly becoming a part of most computing-related curricula, whether as a stand-alone course or infused into existing courses. Both Computing Curricula 2005 and the current discussions on Computing Curricula 2013 recognize the significance of ethics, generally considering it a core topic across the various computing disciplines. Additionally, in their criteria for the accreditation of computing programs, ABET specifies that a student must attain by the time of graduation an understanding of ethical issues and responsibilities. What has been missing is a formal rite-of-passage ceremony to prompt student recognition and self-reflection on the transition from being a student to a computing professional. In 2009, seventeen faculty members and industry representatives from a wide range of institutions began to address this open problem by forming\n            <jats:italic>The Pledge of the Computing Professional<\/jats:italic>\n            [1], [2]. The Pledge exists to promote and recognize the ethical and moral behavior and responsibilities in graduates of computing-related degree programs as they transition to careers of service to society. The Pledge does not seek to define or enforce ethics --- this is the role of other organizations. Specifically, The Pledge is modeled after the Order of the Engineer [3] and provides a rite-of-passage ceremony at the time of graduation.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/2422512.2422513","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,3]],"date-time":"2013-01-03T12:56:38Z","timestamp":1357217798000},"page":"6-8","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The pledge of the computing professional"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Bill","family":"Albrecht","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"McNeese State University, Lake Charles, LA"}]},{"given":"Ken","family":"Christensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of South Florida, Tampa, FL"}]},{"given":"Venu","family":"Dasigi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH"}]},{"given":"Jim","family":"Huggins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kettering University, Flint, MI"}]},{"given":"Jody","family":"Paul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Metropolitan State University of Denver, Denver, CO"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/1897816.1897846"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","unstructured":"The Pledge of the Computing Professional 2011.
