Honoring Professional Engineers

PE Day.jpg

Over a century ago, anyone could practice engineering whether or not they had the appropriate expertise. On August 8, 1907, the first engineer was licensed in order to protect public health, safety and welfare!

Our engineers contribute to almost everything you see outside - roadways, bridges, traffic signals, traffic signs, curbs, sidewalks, crossings, trails, retaining walls, railroads, airports, ports, buildings, parking lots, ponds, catch basins, housing developments…nearly every piece of infrastructure in society is the result of civil engineering.

DGL’s engineers recognize and truly appreciate the responsibility that comes with a professional license. They dedicate their “professional knowledge and skill to the advancement and betterment of human welfare”, which is the Engineers’ Creed. They humbly pledge:

  • To give the UTMOST of performance;

  • To participate in none but HONEST enterprise;

  • To live and work according to the laws of man and the HIGHEST standards of professional conduct;

  • TO PLACE SERVICE BEFORE PROFIT, THE HONOR AND STANDING OF THE PROFESSION BEFORE PERSONAL ADVANTAGE, AND THE PUBLIC WELFARE ABOVE ALL OTHER CONSIDERATIONS.

Almost 113 years after the first engineer was licensed, we are proud to recognize our team of PEs and thank them for their commitment and dedication to such an honorable profession!
