UC Davis Campus

Graduating undergraduate students of the UC Davis College of Engineering are invited to attend the 2026 Order of the Engineer Ring Ceremony.

At this event, graduating engineers will recite the engineer's oath and sign the obligation of an engineer, promising to uphold devotion to the standards and dignity of the engineering profession. Participants will also receive their official Order of the Engineer ring. The Engineer’s Ring in the United States is a stainless steel ring, worn on the fifth finger of the working hand by engineers who have accepted the Obligation of an Engineer at the Ring Ceremony. 

Also at this ceremony, graduating Computer Science students will recite their computing pledge and receive their pin that spells out HONOR in ASCII. The purpose of the pin's symbol is to remind the inductee to always honor their profession through their actions.
