What is the Order of the Engineer?

The Order is the roster of engineers in the United States who have participated in an Engineers’ Ring Ceremony and who have publicly accepted the “Obligation of an Engineer”.  As an engineer, you will make decisions that directly impact people’s lives. The Oath of Obligation affirms the professional ethical responsibility you commit to uphold, symbolized by the steel band you will wear on the small finger of your working hand.  Show your engineering pride by participating in the Order of the Engineer ceremony held each spring.  Details can be found at the following links:
