Created to foster pride and responsibility in the engineering profession and to bridge the gap between training and practice, the Order also provides engineers with a formal code of ethics analogous to the medical profession's Hippocratic Oath.
At the ceremony, each inductee pledged to "practice integrity and fair dealing, tolerance and respect," to give his or her "skill and knowledge without reservation for the public good" and to participate in "none but honest enterprises."
More than 50 UB students took the pledge.
