As an engineering graduate of Tennessee Tech, you are invited to accept the "Obligation
of an Engineer" in an induction ceremony to be held at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, May 3,

which one belongs but is a personal obligation formally accepted by reading and signing
the "Obligation". The stainless steel ring worn on the small finger of the working
hand (left or right) is the visible symbol of the professional qualifications and
obligations of the wearer. There will be no chapter meetings, and no dues are collected.
The initial fee of $15.00 covers the cost of the ring, the certificate, and the national
fee. Please bring the exact amount or pay by check. There will be no refunds, although
initiates who miss a ceremony for unavoidable reasons may participate in the next
scheduled ceremony. If you wish to accept this invitation, please come by Clement
Hall, Room 201, no later than noon, Wednesday, May 1, 2019 to select your ring size, specify how you wish your name to appear on the certificate,
