About
The College of Engineering’s convocation is a much-anticipated event for faculty, staff, and students alike. Typically held the Friday evening prior to UH Mānoa’s graduation ceremony, our convocation is a celebration of the hard work and achievements of our graduating students. Family and friends are invited to attend, and the dress code is informal (think: aloha wear). The venue for convocation varies per semester, to accommodate the size of the graduating class, and has ranged from Campus Center Ballroom to the Neil S. Blaisdell Center – Arena to Kennedy Theatre. Our convocation program traditionally includes: the Dean’s welcome address, invited speaker convocation address, recognition of award recipients, the Order of the Engineer ceremony, recognition of degree candidates, alumni greeting, and a closing message.
The Order of the Engineer
This ceremony is a tradition that makes our convocation stand out from those of other disciplines. According to the organization’s website, “The Order of the Engineer was initiated in the United States to foster a spirit of pride and responsibility in the engineering profession, to bridge the gap between training and experience, and to present to the public a visible symbol identifying the engineer. The Order is not a membership organization; there are never any meetings to attend or dues to pay. Instead, the Order fosters a unity of purpose and the honoring of one’s pledge lifelong. The Engineer’s Ring in the United States is a stainless steel ring, worn on the fifth finger of the working hand by engineers who have accepted the Obligation of an Engineer in a Ring Ceremony.”
