The Order of the Engineer
Initiated to foster pride and responsibility in the engineering profession, the Order offers a visible symbol to identify engineers: a stainless steel ring on the little finger of their working hand. The Order is not a membership organization; there are no dues or meetings. Read more about the Order of the Engineer in PE magazine.
