6 ORDER OF THE ENGINEER CEREMONY Presented by the Kansas Society of Professional Engineers June 7, :15 a.m. Hilton Garden Inn, Manhattan, Kansas The Order of the Engineer is an independent organization whose purpose is to foster a feeling of pride in and dedication to the engineering profession. During the ceremony, each inductee takes a solemn obligation to uphold devotion to the standards and the dignity of the engineering profession. The obligation is a creed similar to the oath attributed to Hippocrates that is commonly taken by medical graduates and which sets forth an ethical code. The obligation likewise contains parts of the canon of ethics of major engineering societies. The Order promotes honesty and integrity, and recognizes that today s engineers are dependent on their predecessors for their skills. A stainless steel ring is worn on the little finger of the working hand to symbolize acceptance of the obligation. KSPE/NSPE members who wear the ring help raise awareness of the concepts of licensure and professionalism. This awareness is extended to recent engineering graduates, to non-kspe/nspe members, and to the general public. Promoting the Order of the Engineer provides an opportunity for NSPE and its state partners to grow our membership. A strong membership base helps promote and protect the engineering license. You are invited to join in this important promotion of the licensed engineer. Please sign up to take the oath to serve humanity by making the best use of earth s precious wealth!
