Order of the Engineer

AIChE Center for Ethical Practice is exploring programs to encourage and acknowledge the ethical practice of our profession for all AIChE Global members. As a pilot program to increase awareness of ethical practice of engineering, AIChE has been chartered to offer the Order of the Engineer (OoE). OoE is a nationally recognized organization "Upholding devotion to the Standards and Dignity of the Engineering Profession." An induction ceremony acknowledges a professional's commitment to ethical practice of their profession and will receive a steel ring. Wearing the OoE ring is an outward manifestation of the pledge to protect society and the public, and it is a foundational step towards professionalism. The goal is to bridge the gap between training and experience, and to present to the public a visible symbol identifying the engineer. The OoE is open to the following AIChE Members: all graduates of ABET accredited engineering programs, all licensed Professional Engineers, and Seniors who are within one academic year of graduation from an ABET-accredited engineering course of study. The induction ceremony is a joint project of the License and Professional Development Committee and the Center for Ethical Practice , and is endorsed by the Young Professionals Committee. If you would like to participate in the induction ceremony, please email darls@aiche.org to register and include your ring size of the little finger on your "working" hand (generally considered the hand you use to sign documents).
