Case Western Reserve University establishes chapter of Order of the Engineer

Founded in 1970 at Cleveland State University, the Order of the Engineer was established “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.” This April, Case Western Reserve has initiated their chapter with 79 inductees who received a stainless steel ring to be worn on their fifth finger of their working hand, signifying their obligation to being an ethical engineer.
