Background: The Order of the Engineer was
initiated in the United States in
1970 to foster a spirit of pride and responsibility in the engineering
profession, to bridge the gap between training and experience, and to
present
to the public a visible symbol identifying the Engineer. Participants in
the
Order of the Engineer Ceremony take the "Obligation of the Engineer"
oath,
which states an Engineer's responsibilities to the public and to the
profession. Participants receive an Obligation Certificate, and a
stainless
steel ring that is worn as a reminder of an Engineer's commitment to
high
ethics and professionalism. Any Engineer is eligible for induction if he
or
she has graduated from an ABET accredited engineering program or holds a
license as a Professional Engineer. Students enrolled in ABET-accredited
engineering degree programs are eligible to participate if they are
within
two academic terms of graduation. There are no membership dues. Family
members are encouraged to attend and witness this impressive ceremony.
Some
sixty engineers, students, and family members attended this affair
last
year. Below is a picture of last years inductees.
