This recognition ceremony is dedicated to upholding the standards and dignity of the engineering profession. Our college hosts the event at the end of each semester. It is typically held the day before <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/graduation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UWM commencement<\/a>.

Its goal is to foster a spirit of pride and responsibility in the engineering profession. Participating graduates are presented with an official certificate and given a stainless-steel ring to be worn on the fifth (pinky) finger of their working hand. Only students who participate in the in-person event receive the certificate and ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ceremony includes a creed similar to the oath attributed to Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.). That oath is generally taken by medical graduates and which sets forth an ethical code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Order of the Engineer is guided by a national board of governors. Ceremonies are held in colleges and universities with engineering curricula in all 50 states. <a href=\"https:\/\/order-of-the-engineer.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">More information about the organization can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-membership-charges-no-ongoing-meetings\"><strong>No membership charges; no ongoing meetings<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who have applied for graduation and who are on track to graduate will receive an invitation during their final semester before graduation.
