Graduating students for academic year 2025-26 are cordially invited to participate in the annual Order of the Engineer & Pledge of the Computing Professional Induction Ceremonies hosted by the UToledo College of Engineering. Business casual attire is requested for participants, and guests are welcome to attend. Light refreshments will be provided following the ceremony.

This event is for all students, undergraduate and graduate, who will be graduating with a degree from the College of Engineering in December 2025, May 2026 and August 2026.

During the Order of the Engineer Induction Ceremony, students in engineering degree programs will receive a ring, and will be invited as a group to recite the Obligation of the Engineer. The Order of the Engineer was initiated in the United States to foster a spirit of pride and responsibility in the engineering profession, to bridge the gap between training and experience, and to present to the public a visible symbol identifying the engineer. 

During the Pledge of the Computing Professional Induction Ceremony for college of engineering students in computing programs (IT, CS, Cyber Security), students will receive a pin and be invited as a group to recite the Pledge of the Computing Professional. The Pledge for the Computing Professional was developed by an international team who acknowledged that computing professionals needed to have their own entity for welcoming new professionals and upholding the ethical standards of the profession.

For both ceremonies, whether the symbol received is a ring or a pin, the ethical standards and professional obligation to honest dealings is the same.

Students must register for the ceremony to receive either the pin or the ring. An email with the registration link has been sent to students through the rockets email address; the registration deadline is October 23, 2025. Students are asked to arrive between 4:30-4:50 p.m. to pick up their packet for the ceremony. 

Questions on the registration or ceremony can be directed to EnUGStudies@utoledo.edu.

Student registration for this event is now closed.
