Order of the Engineer and The Pledge of the Computing Professional

• Can I invite guests to Engineering Induction ceremony? Yes, you may.  Two guests per inductee are welcome to attend the ceremony.  You will be asked to include the names of your guests at the time of registration.
• What if I don’t know my ring size for Order of the Engineer? The ring is worn on the pinky finger of your working hand. Most jewelers will be able to help you determine your ring size. You may also visit the Fulton Student Engagement Office at ECF 130 and ask at the front desk for assistant in sizing.  Rings will be available at the event and you can be sized during registration. Be aware that this is a popular event and registration will be very busy. Knowing your ring size and including it in your registration information will help reduce long wait times.
• I have already taken the Obligation of the Engineer. Can I still participate in the ceremony? Yes! While you don’t need to take the Obligation again, you can help by taking registrations and distributing rings to the new inductees at the event. To volunteer, please contact orderoftheengineer@asu.edu.
• What if I cannot attend the Engineering Induction Ceremony? To be inducted, you must attend the event.  If you have any extenuating circumstances, please contact orderoftheengineer@asu.edu.
• Who can I contact for additional questions or information? Please contact orderoftheengineer@asu.edu.

History

The Order of the Engineer at Arizona State University was once organized by Steven Trimble, Professor of Practice in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy for the graduating seniors in his Senior Design class. He acted as the school’s link, and inducted many students. Although the event was not available to all students, the standard of excellence was set. Beginning in 2010, the Order of the Engineer was made available to the entire senior class of the ABET accredited programs of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. This event is held by the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering and the Engineering Alumni Chapter, with support from many student organizations including the Society of Women Engineers, the Engineering Student Council and many more who volunteer with our team.  Pledge of the Computing Professional – In 2007, inspired by the example of the Order of the Engineer, individuals at Ohio Northern University and the University of South Florida created similar organizations for graduates of their respective computing programs. After interest in such an organization grew at other institutions, The Pledge of the Computing Professional was developed by an international team of 17 computing professionals.
