The Department of Systems Engineering hosted the annual Order of the Engineer Induction Ceremony. Current and future engineers from the Chemical Engineering, Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, and Systems Engineering Departments gathered to acknowledge the social responsibility they have in the proper design and execution of projects as Engineers. Each inductee received an iron ring to wear on the pinky finger of their working hand so that as they go about their engineering business, drafting up plans, designs, and specifications, it will clatter along their desk to constantly remind them of their solemn obligation to the profession and to society. BG(P) William H Graham, Commander of the North Atlantic Division of the United States Corps of Engineers, served as the guest speaker for the ceremony.
