Invitation to Join Order of the Engineer
The Order of the Engineer is an organization created to foster a spirit of pride and responsibility in the engineering profession.
The Order is not a membership organization; there are never any meetings to attend or dues to pay. Instead, the Order fosters a unity of purpose and the honoring of one's pledge lifelong to "Upholding Devotion to the Standards and Dignity of the Engineering profession." Members accepting the obligation often wear a stainless steel ring on the small finger of their working hand.
