UTPB hosted the Spring Order of the Engineer Ceremony at the College of Engineering for eligible students and faculty on Friday, May 3.
19 mechanical and petroleum engineering students and one faculty member were a part of the ceremony.
The Order of the Engineer is an independent organization started by a group of engineers in Ohio in 1966.
“The purpose is to cultivate a sense of pride and commitment to the profession that unites us,” said Faculty Member Dr. Ahmed Alzahabi.
The ceremony includes the placing of a stainless-steel ring on the small finger of his or her working hand. It provides an identifying mark of an engineer.
“The Order of the Engineer's ring, symbolizes pride, prestige, honor, and professionalism among all engineers in the United States, serving as a steadfast reminder of our duty to society. It embodies your dedication to serving the public as an engineer,” said Dr. Alzahabi.
