As a Professional Engineer, I dedicate my professional knowledge and skill to the advancement and betterment of human welfare.
Bates Engineers and Bates Engineering International provides engineering services pursuant to the June 1956 pledge adopted by the National Society of Professional Engineers, “To participate in none but honest enterprise; To live and work according to the laws of man and the highest standards of processional conduct; To place service before profit; the honor and standing of the profession before personal advantage, and the public welfare above all other considerations. In humility and with need for Divine Guidance, I make this pledge.”
