Here’s mine:
I, <name>, in the presence of these my betters and my equals in my Calling, bind
myself upon my Honor and Cold Iron, that, of the best of my knowledge and power, I
will not henceforward suffer or pass, or be privy to the passing of, Bad Workmanship
or Faulty Material in aught that concerns my works before mankind as an Engineer, or
in my dealing with my own Soul before my Maker.
MY TIME I will not refuse; my Thought I will not grudge; my Care I will not deny
towards the honour, use, stability and perfection of any works to which I may be
called to set my hand.
MY FAIR WAGES for that work I will openly take. My Reputation in my Calling I will
honourably guard; but I will in no way go about to compass or wrest judgement or
gratifiction from any one with whom I may deal. And further, I will early and warily
strive my uttermost against professional jealousy and the belittling of my
working-colleagues in any field of their labour.
FOR MY ASSURED FAILURES and derelictions, I ask pardon beforehand of my betters and
my equals in my Calling here assembled; praying that in the hour of my temptations,
weakness and weariness, the memory of this my Obligation and of the company before
whom it was entered into, may return to me to aid, comfort, and restrain.

As an Engineer, I pledge to practice integrity and fair dealing, tolerance and respect; and to uphold devotion to the standards and the dignity of my profession, conscious always that my skill carries with it the obligation to serve humanity by making the best use of the Earth's precious wealth. As an Engineer, I shall participate in none but honest enterprises. When needed, my skill and knowledge shall be given without reservation for the public good. In the performance of duty and in fidelity to my profession, I shall give my utmost.
