On December 5th, the College inducted twenty-eight new members in the Order of the Engineer. Drs. Gary McDonald and “Chuck” Margraves of the Mechanical Engineering faculty serve as advisors to the organization, and as representatives of the College at the Order’s national level. Founded in 1970, the Order’s mission and purpose is 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.
With its credo, “ upholding devotion to the standards and dignity of the engineering profession,” the Order recognizes the importance of knowledge, ability, and ethics as essential characteristics of good engineers. Members of the Order pledge to uphold the standards of the engineering profession, and are given a stainless steel ring to be worn on the little finger of their “working hands.” That visible symbol serves as a reminder to its wearer of the pledge made, while also serving as an public acknowledgement identifying the wearer as an engineer committed to excellence in his/her profession.
