The term of SE was firstly mentioned during the NATO conference on software. It was on 1968 where they first mentioned it. During that conference, a discussion aroused about the procedures of SE. But this was only the concept, throughout the following decades, companies started to innovate in SE. They started producing new and more powerful tools for Software Engineers to use. These were not only new programming languages, but also more and more fields of action.
Since then, lots of companies have been created just for the sole purpose of helping and supporting Software Engineering. One of them is the Software Engineering Institute, which was created on 1984.
It is focused on R&D and it is working along U.S. Government to deliver high quality products for U.S. Department of Defense, civilian government, and industry organizations.
This is just one of many organisations that work just for keeping this world running with the current pace that we live in.
