The 16 windows on the engineer castle are symbolic of the 16 core principles of engineering. These principles, outlined by the National Academy of Engineering, are the basis for engineering ethics, and they are:
- public welfare and safety
- health, welfare, and safety of the public
- advancement of the state of engineering knowledge
- protection of the environment
- enhancement of the quality of life
- international cooperation
- respect for human dignity
- responsibility to society
- loyalty to employers
- fairness to colleagues
- integrity in practice
- objectivity in decision-making
- avoidance of conflicts of interest
- openness in communication
- respect for intellectual property
- professional development
The 16 window configuration of the engineer castle is a visual representation of these principles, and serves as a reminder of the ethical standards to which engineers should adhere.

∙ 11y agoThe origin of the turreted castle as a symbol of the Corps of Engineers is shrouded in mystery. Unfortunately, the official records of the Corps housed at the Military Academy at West Point disappeared in a pre-Civil War fire in 1838 that destroyed the building containing the records. So to answer this question is purely speculation on any answer. I am an Army Combat Engineer, and trust me, no one knows the answer. Higher ups ask that question all the time for fun, but since the original records are gone there is no sure answer. Thus the mystery.
