i. I swear to fulfill, to the best of my knowledge, this premise:
ii. I swear that I will respect the hard-won technical foundation of those engineers in whose steps I tread,
iii. And gladly share knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
iv. I will apply, for the benefit of the users, all measures that are required, avoiding those shortcuts that improve my performance or my employees’ at the users’ cost.
v. I will remember that there is art to engineering, and that experience, design, and empathy may outweigh performance, cost, or time to deliver.
vi. I will not be ashamed to say ‘I know not’, nor will I fail to call in my fellow engineers when the skills of another are required for the task at hand.
vii. I will respect the privacy of the users, for their data is not disclosed to me for the world to know.
