Professional Ethics Induction
The Order of the Engineer and the Pledge of the Computing Professional are rite-of-passage ceremonies for graduates from engineering and computing science degree programs. Both ceremonies are intended to promote and recognize the ethical and moral behavior of graduates, upholding devotion to the standards and dignity of the respective professions, as they transition from students to working professionals.
Order of the Engineer
The Order of the Engineer was initiated in the United States 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. 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.
Pledge of the Computing Professional
The Pledge of the Computing Professional is an organization to promote the notion of computing as a recognized profession at the time of graduation for students in Computer Science. The Pledge of the Computing Professional is solely intended to recognize the ethical and moral behavior of graduates of computer science degree programs as they transition to careers of service to society.
