 PLEDGE OF ELECTRONICS ENGINEER
I AM AN ELECTRONICS ENGINEER. IN MY PROFESSION, I TAKE DEEP PRIDE, BUT WITHOUT
VAINGLORY; TO IT I OWE SOLEMN OBLIGATIONS THAT I AM EAGER TO FULFILL.
AS AN ELECTRONICS ENGINEER, I WILL PARTICIPATE IN NONE BUT HONEST AND LEGAL
ENTERPRISES. TO HIM WHO HAS ENGAGED MY SERVICES, AS EMPLOYER OR CLIENT, I
WILL GIVE THE UTMOST OF PERFORMANCE AND FIDELITY.
WHEN NEEDED, MY SKILL AND KNOWLEDGE SHALL BE GIVEN WITHOUT RESERVATION
FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD. FROM MY SPECIAL CAPACITY SPRINGS THE OBLIGATION TO
USE IT WELL IN THE SERVICE OF HUMANITY; AND I ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE THAT THIS
IMPLIES.
ZEALOUS OF THE HIGH REPUTE OF MY COLLEAGUE, I WILL STRIVE TO PROTECT THE
INTEREST AND THE GOOD NAME OF ANY ENGINEER THAT I KNOW BE DESERVING; BUT I
WILL NOT SHIRK, SHOULD DUTY DICTATE, FROM DISCLOSING THE TRUTH REGARDING
ANYONE WHO, BY UNSCRUPULOUS ACT, HAS SHOWN HIMSELF UNWORTHY OF THE
PROFESSION.
 PLEDGE OF ELECTRONICS ENGINEER
AS OTHERS BEFORE ME HAVE VITALIZED AND TURNED TO PRACTICAL ACCOUNT THE
PRINCIPLES OF SCIENCE AND THE REVELATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY AND HAVE
RENDERED USABLE TO MANKIND NATURE’S VAST RESOURCES OF MATTER AND
ENERGY SO DO I DEDICATE MYSELF TO THE ANALYSIS,
SYNTHESIS AND DISSEMINATION OF ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE.
AND ESPECIALLY TO THE INSTRUCTION OF YOUNGER MEMBERS OF MY PROFESSION
IN ALL ITS ARTS AND TRADITIONS.
TO MY COLLEAGUES I PLEDGE, IN THE SAME FULL MEASURE, I ASK OF THEM,
INTEGRITY AND FAIR DEALING, TOLERANCE AND RESPECT, AND DEVOTION TO THE
STANDARDS AND THE DIGNITY OF OUR PROFESSION, WITH THE CONSCIOUSNESS,
ALWAYS, THAT OUR SPECIAL EXPERTISE CARRIES WITH IT THE OBLIGATION TO SERVE
HUMANITY WITH COMPLETE DEDICATION.
SO HELP ME GOD.
