More than 100 graduating Louisiana Tech engineers joined the prestigious Order of the Engineer at a special induction ceremony last month.

The ceremony, held at the Integrated Engineering and Science Building, honored these students for their academic accomplishments, exemplary dedication to the engineering profession, and commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards.

Each inductee took the Oath of the Engineer, pledging to uphold the engineering profession’s principles and adhere to the highest ethical standards throughout their careers. During the ceremony, initiates received Engineer’s Rings, stainless steel rings placed on the fifth finger of the working hand as a visible symbol and reminder of their dedication. The ceremony was attended by faculty, staff, family members and distinguished guests, who gathered to celebrate the newly inducted members.

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 first ceremony was held on June 4, 1970, at Cleveland State University. Since then, similar ceremonies have been held across the United States with ceremonies conducted by Links (local sections) of the Order.

The Louisiana Tech inductees join a dedicated and prestigious group of engineers from across the nation, which includes a number of Louisiana Tech graduates. Louisiana Tech has been a member in the organization since 2005.
