I got curios and looked it up: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Engineer https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Engineer Does not seem to be legally binding, so it’s just nice sounding mumbo jumbo as far as I am concerned. They should make SWEs take it regardless… Edit: quick search gave the same results for lawyers

> quick search gave the same results for lawyers I mean, it might not be legally binding, but violating it will get you disbarred afaik. And if you are disbarred, you cannot legally practice law, so it is kinda legally binding, just not directly.

It is legally binding, it's just implemented via professional association rather than a regulatory framework. The US government even sues the NSPE over antitrust violations because of that code of ethics. See National Society of Professional Engineers v. United States 435 US 679 [1] [1] https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/435/679/ https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/435/679/
