Order of Engineer Ring ceremony set for April 16
1
All UIC engineering undergraduate and graduate students who have recently graduated or will graduate in spring 2025, and all engineering faculty are invited to participate in the Order of Engineer Ring Ceremony on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, from 6 to 6:40 pm at an on-campus location to be announced soon.
Registration is required, and the deadline is Friday, April 11 at 3 pm. Participants can register in room 3047 ERF on Wednesday, April 9, from 11 am to 3:30 pm and Friday, April 11, from 9am to 3pm. The cost is $13 for the ring and a certificate.
The ceremony is a one-time event, and it takes about 45 minutes. This is separate from graduation and an optional event. This is a public ceremony where engineers formally accept the obligation of an engineer, a pledge to uphold the standards of the engineering profession. Engineers receive a stainless-steel ring, worn on your pinkie finger, to show off their pride and responsibility to the profession. You must attend the Ring Ceremony to wear the ring.

If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Jamie Szwalek at jszwalek@uic.edu or in Room 3047 ERF.
