The Rutgers Engineering Student Pledge

At Rutgers Engineering, we believe engineering is a force for positive change. The work we do—and the way we do it—matters.

The Rutgers Engineering Student Pledge reflects our commitment to fostering a community grounded in excellence, integrity, inclusion, collaboration, and innovation. It is a shared promise to support one another, embrace diverse perspectives, and use our knowledge and skills to create a better future.

I Pledge to Be a Rutgers Engineer

To take on the challenge  

Of solving problems  

In the classroom,  

In the laboratory,  

And for my community.  

To Shape the Future

With precision,  

integrity, and equity 

And to uphold the highest standards of professional conduct. 

I Will Persevere  

Despite academic challenges,  

Personal conflict, or self-doubt.  

I Know My Value and Why I Am Here

I am a Scarlet Knight, 

I will succeed.  

I will be an Engineer!
