The ring ceremony is the public induction of candidates into the Order of the Engineer,
a fellowship of engineers who are trained in science and technology and dedicated
to the practice, teaching or administration of their profession.
During the ceremony, engineering students are invited to accept the Obligation of
the Engineer and a stainless steel ring is placed on the smallest finger of the working
hand. The obligation is a formal statement of an engineer’s responsibilities to the
public and to the profession. Both the order and the obligation serve to stimulate
public recognition by engineers of two basic principles: that the primary purpose
of the engineering profession is the protection of the public health, safety and welfare;
and that all members of the engineering profession share a common bond.
Trine University conducted its first ring ceremony in November 1978.
