Faith of the Engineer
I am an Engineer. In my profession I take deep pride, but without vain glory; to
it I owe solemn obligations that I am eager to fulfill.
As an Engineer, I will participate in none but honest enterprise. To him that
has engaged my services, as employer or client, I will give the utmost of
performance and fidelity.
When needed, my skill and knowledge shall be given without reservation for the
public good. From special capacity springs the obligation to use it well in the
service of humanity: and I accept the challenge that this implies.
Jealous of the high repute of my calling, I will strive to protect the interests
and the good name of any engineer that I know to be deserving; but I will not
shrink, should duty dictate, from disclosing the truth regarding anyone that, by
unscrupulous act, has shown himself unworthy of the profession.
Since the Age of Stone, human progress has been conditioned by the genius of my
professional forebears. By them have been rendered usable to mankind Nature's
vast resources of material and energy. By them have been vitalized and turned to
practical account the principles of science and the revelations of technology.
Except for this heritage of accumulated experience, my efforts would be feeble.
I dedicate myself to the dissemination of engineering knowledge, and especially,
to the instruction of younger members of my profession in all its arts and
traditions.
To my fellows I pledge, in the same full measure I ask of them, integrity and
fair dealing, tolerance and respect, and devotion to the standards and the
dignity of our profession; with the consciousness, always, that our special
expertness carries with it the obligation to serve humanity with complete
sincerity.
