It would be nice if all schools did this, but I suspect that doing so, would render the oath almost meaningless.


It's pretty common and the Engineer's I've worked with take it pretty seriously.

There's also a code of ethics:

Sadly, most software engineers aren't licensed professional engineers.


Either that, or we wouldn't be living in the ethical and morally absent world we live in today.


The point is that the oath is for the benefit of the oathtaker, so extra useless oaths don't hurt.
