or anything equivalent to this?

Engineers' Creed
The Engineers' Creed was developed in response to a desire for a short
statement of philosophy of service, similar to the Hippocratic Oath for
medical practitioners or similar oaths of the legal profession, that can be
used in ceremonies or in recognition of individuals. Approved in June 1954,
the Creed is used widely in NSPE, state society, and local chapter officer
installation ceremonies, licensure certificate presentations, and
engineering school graduations.

NSPE Code of Ethics for Engineers
ENGINEERS' CREED
As a Professional Engineer, I dedicate my professional knowledge and skill
to the advancement and betterment of human welfare.
I 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.
In humility and with need for Divine Guidance, I make this pledge.
Adopted by National Society of Professional Engineers, June 1954
