The Ghana Institution of Engineering (GhIE) has inducted 146 new engineers at the Engineering Centre, Roman Ridge, Accra.
In addition, six candidates who could not make it to the previous induction ceremony presented themselves for induction. This brings to 152 engineers who were inducted by the President-Elect of the GhIE, Ing. Ludwig Annan Hesse.
Administering the Engineering Oath to the inductees, Ing. Ludwig Annan Hesse charged the new engineers to discharge their duties according to the ethics of their profession.
He warned them to desist from advertising their work as enshrined in their code of ethics and practice.
He advised the new engineers to do the right thing, to be socially responsible, and to apply environmental sustainability in all their work.

He said this would increase their value in the profession they have chosen.
He urged them to be active members of the Institution so that they could be recommended to the Engineering Council for the renewal of their licenses.
In his address, the Chairman of the Membership Committee of GhIE, Ing. Dr. Patrick Amoah Bekoe, said, the Constitution, in line with ACT 819, makes provisions for four main Occupational Groups namely: Professional Engineers, Professional Engineering Technologists, Engineering Technicians and Engineering Craftsmen.
He added that the past three years have seen an increase in membership of the Engineering Craftsmen Occupational group. However, the intake of the Professional Engineering Technologists and Engineering Technicians Occupational groups has not been encouraging.
He hinted that the Membership Committee has therefore stepped up its outreach activities to increase admission of these two occupational groups.
The Immediate Past President (IPP) of GhIE, Ing. Rev. Prof. Charles Anum Adams advised the engineers to uphold integrity and honesty, continuously improving their skills by taking part in continuous developmentpProgrammes organised by the institution.
The induction ceremony was attended by the Executive Director of GhIE, Ing. David Kwatia Nyante; Council Members; Past Presidents of GhIE, guests and family members of inductees
