Iron Ring: Difference between revisions

The '''Iron Ring''' is a ring worn by many engineers in Canada, serving as a symbol and reminder of the obligations and responsibilities of the profession. The ring is acquired through a ceremony available to students graduating from an accredited Canadian engineering program, or engineers from abroad who can demonstrate their eligibility for membership in a Canadian Professional Engineers' Association. The ceremony, known as [[The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer]], was developed with the assistance of English poet Rudyard Kipling after a request from Professor [[H.E.T. Haultain]], and is administered by The Corporation of the Seven Wardens Inc./Société des Sept Gardiens inc. The request was made on behalf of seven past presidents of the Engineering Institute of Canada, who would become the original seven Wardens of the Corporation.
