Order of the Engineer 2014 Ring Ceremony

We’re proud of the 103 engineering seniors, 10 faculty and 2 engineering professionals who joined The Order of The Engineer at the first induction ceremony in Rhode Island. The national professional organization seeks to foster a spirit of pride and responsibility in engineers. Members receive a ring worn on the small finger of the working hand to symbolize their commitment to the engineering profession.

Its nice to see other groups outside Canada use this to remind them of their obligations. I'm not an engineer from north America but an Asian one but I wore one for the four years I served as an administrator for engineering services to remind me of my obligations despite the pressure from other management to ignore it. I have not worn it since I finished my term there and am back to teaching new promising engineers. But I try to peddle the ideas of the order of the ring to those who wont be under a codified code of conduct.

I have been wearing a cute Silver Ring in my little finger from my school days, actually without any knowledge of the Ring Ritual of Engineers. But later, coincidently or not -- I became an Engineer !

[@brendoz]

Thank Canada for your ring ;)

[@thomaslecky5301]

haha. I didn't know American schools gave them out

[@justarandomgal2683]

Thomas Lecky As an American I can say that Canada was first. American engineering schools saw what you guys were doing and thought it was cool.

[@andyoohhh2061]

I am American and never got one. How could I be a part of this?

[@walexia]

@@justarandomgal2683 not cool...but necessary

[@TheDarknessConsumesMe666]

Did you get it?

[@borednow]

What?!?!? Why dont we have this in europe too???

[@justpassingthrough7990]

I always knew engineers across the board were full of themselves but this was a whole new level lol wow.

[@dumpling3309]

Lol it's just a pendant and free

[@ppal64]

The iron ring - made of stainless steel. If it was more ostentatious then it would have attracted attention. Would be a conversation starter - looks like junk.

[@nixcution4935]

Pranesh Pal they are meant to look simple and like junk because of the nature of a engineer’s work

[@abm8017]

@Ya So the actual ring isn't made of the bridge remains, but symbolises the responsibilities held by engineers in connection to the incident
