The ceremony is conducted prior to commencement with all graduates, their families and guests invited to attend.
Each new graduate is invited to become a member; there is no other requirement for membership other than successfully completing an engineering degree program and qualifying for a degree. Each graduate who attends the ceremony is recognized by their department head and dean with a certificate of membership in the Society.
