  Mission of the SEI
  The SEI is a preeminent software engineering R&D technology center.
 

The SEI provides the technical leadership to advance the practice of software engineering so the DoD can acquire and sustain its software-intensive systems with predictable and improved cost, schedule, and quality. The SEI mission includes four objectives:
1 accelerate the introduction and widespread use of high-payoff software engineering practices and technology by identifying, evaluating, and maturing promising or underused technology and practices
2 maintain a long-term competency in software engineering and technology transition
3 enable industry and government organizations to make measured improvements in their software engineering practices by working with them directly
4 foster the adoption and sustained use of standards of excellence for software engineering practice
