Question #1:
what is SWEBOK,when was it published ,by whom and what were the
objectives ?

Answer :
The Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK
Guide) describes generally accepted knowledge about software
engineering. Its 15 knowledge areas (KAs) summarize the concepts and
include a reference list pointing to more detailed information.
When was it published by whom :
The Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK
Guide) has been created through cooperation among several professional
bodies and members of industry and is published by the IEEE Computer

Knowledge that is generally accepted, to organize that portion, and
to provide topical access to it.
 b. to characterize the contents of the software engineering discipline;
c. to promote a consistent view of software engineering worldwide;
d. to clarify the place of, and set the boundary of, software
engineering with respect to other disciplines;
e. to provide a foundation for training materials and curriculum
development; and
f. to provide a basis for certification and licensing of software

software engineering internally, notably when defining education and training, job
classification and performance evaluation policies; practicing software
engineers;makers of public policy engaged in defining software engineering licensin
rules and guidelines for professionals;
Professional societies engaged in defining software engineering university program
accreditation guidelines, and certification rules and guidelines for professionals;
Software engineering students learning the discipline;

Educators and trainers engaged in Question #3:

Give your own thoughts about importance of swebok as a student ?

Answer:
Software engineers impact society through the applications, programs, and systems
