Since the origins of humanity, human progress has been spurred by the engineering genius. The engineering profession has made usable nature’s vast resources of material and energy for humanity’s benefits. Engineering practitioners have vitalized, and turned to practice use, the principles of science and the means of technology. Were if not for this heritage of accumulated experience, my efforts would be feeble.
I pledge to practice integrity and fair dealing, tolerance and respect, and to uphold devotion to the standards and dignity of my profession, conscious always that my skill carries with it, the obligation to serve the public good, by making the most sustainable use of earth’s precious resources.
