Louisiana Tech inducts new Order of the Engineer members
Louisiana Tech University and its College of Engineering and Science has inducted 62 new members into its chapter, “Link” of the “Order of the Engineer” – a national organization established and dedicated to upholding devotion to the standards and dignity of the engineering profession.
During the ceremony, initiates received a stainless steel ring to wear on the fifth finger of the working hand and accepted the Obligation of the Engineer, a code of ethics that promotes honesty and integrity in engineering professions.
Seniors who are within one year of graduation from an accredited engineering program are eligible to join the Order and make the commitment.
“The Order of the Engineer ceremony is a great milestone for many of our graduating Engineers,” Dr. Heath Tims, associate dean of undergraduate studies in the College of Engineering and Science. “It is a representation of the academic accomplishments of our students, as well as their commitment to upholding the ethical standards that are expected from the Engineering discipline.”
“We are very pleased to have a large number of our engineering seniors recognize the importance of their decisions as engineers will have on society,” Dr. Hisham Hegab, dean of Louisiana Tech’s College of Engineering and Science added. “Their induction into the Order of the Engineer is a statement of their commitment to honesty and integrity and is a pledge to serve humanity and make the best use of our natural resources.”
New members of the Order of the Engineer are listed below.
