The engineer's cap is an important accessory for the engineering student and is often worn at events. The white cap is worn from the end of April to the fourth of October and the dark blue cap in between. Spegates (braided rings) are worn on the cap and represent the section a technologist belongs to and the number of years of study the engineering student has completed. After completing the Master's degree program, a padlock is attached to the spegates as proof. The rules governing the technologist's cap are:
• Chemical engineering has yellow stripes, Biotechnology has a yellow-green stripes and Food technology has a yellow-red stripes.
• A tied tassel means the student is in a relationship.
• When somebody ties one of the strings in the tassel, that somebody should be rewarded with a kiss from the student wearing the cap.
• A braid in the tassel means intimacy.
• The cap may not, under any circumstances, be worn until the Nolla “drinks it in” at the Nollegasque.
You will get opportunity to by your own Engineer's cap during your first time at LTH.
