Engineers' Creed
As a Professional Engineer, I dedicate my
professional knowledge and skill to the
advancement and betterment of human welfare.
I pledge:
To give the utmost of performance;
To participate in none but honest enterprise;
To live and work according to the laws of man
and the highest standards of professional
conduct;
To place service before profit, the honor and standing of
the profession before personal advantage, and the
public welfare above all other considerations.

Note: In regard to the question of application of the Code to corporations vis-a-vis real persons, business form or type should not negate nor
influence conformance of individuals to the Code. The Code deals with professional services, which services must be performed by real persons.
Real persons in turn establish and implement policies within business structures. The Code is clearly written to apply to the Engineer, and it is
incumbent on members of NSPE to endeavor to live up to its provisions. This applies to all pertinent sections of the Code.
