This Iron Ring Cost me $60,000, Here's Why

- After participating in an iron ring ceremony, graduates from accredited undergraduate Engineering programs in Canada are given Iron rings. These rings, at times called Kipling rings are a symbolic representation of humility and pride that Engineers have in their profession. In this video I share the origins of the Engineering iron ring and how Rudyard Kipling, author of the jungle book developed the "Ritual of the Calling of the Engineer" info about the secret iron ring ceremony. Last, but most importantly the impacts of the Quebec bridge disaster to the Canadian Engineering profession

A very well-researched & compelling video Osama! Actively anticipating to experience this soon & as always, getting to learn something fascinating from these fine videos.😄
Thanks Usman! Always happy to share some of my inspirations and insights from the world of engineering!
Ottawa U grad of 1978. The iron ring ceremony is still one of the high points of my life, even more than being commissioned as an officer in the Canadian Navy. Just replaced my lost iron ring (sigh) for a stainless one. Do miss the feel of the iron one. The new stainless one is so shiny, lol. Good job on the video. I wonder how many give back their rings upon retirement?
Incredible that you had the chance to watch this video! Cool to know that even after so many years the iron ring remains a high point in your life. Gilles Samson, how much maintainace does a iron ring require? Do you have to lubricate it every month or so? Also, is it annoying to take off while washing your hands? Curious to know how the experience is compared to the stainless steel, now that you've switched over
@@OsamaBaig I never did anything special to maintain the iron one. Wore it all the time even when swimming not even when washing my hands. I did notice a faint bluish ring around my finger but it washed off easily enough, but i never really noticed it. The stainless ring is shinier than the old one but other than that not much of a difference. Not many people know what it is, nor what it means, unless they are another ringed engineer.
Very cool to hear about the ring(s) more in depth! I only learned last year of the oath and how seriously things were taken in Canada when I watched a special about that very bridge and how it all lead to our unique Engineering programs. I didn't realize there's one for Nuclear engineering as well. Arg... makes me wish I had pursued that rather than IT.
Yes, the Zirc ring is super cool! Special to Ontariotech (not as much history involved) however its made from fuel bundles (empty)! Its never too late Aaron :)
Got mine 14 years ago, still thrilled to be wearing it. So much blood tears and sweat behind it.
Incredible, I wonder how the ring looks like 14 years later. Also I can definitely appreciate the blood, sweat and tears behind that ring ramzimatar
Curious to know which Engineering Schools you went to or plan on going to? Share in the comments below!
I'm gonna buss down my iron ring, put some VVS on it
I know this video is over a year old but I need a question answered, I have just finished my corse in aerospace engineering and I really want this ring, but the problem is that I live in the uk and I was wondering if it was disrespectful if I bought an engineers ring and wore it?????
I feel like it would be a bit disrespectful since the ring is given out by a specific organization. You should reach out to them and let them know your credentials and why you want one, maybe you can try to see if they would be willing to invite you to calling of an Engineer ceremony
Pssst. I could've made that ring for $40. /s Kidding aside it's a very neat ritual we have. Laymen like me who build something can't use the "engineered" word. That's reserved for people that wear the ring.
Haha you can make it for $5, the metal is super cheap. Doda, people like you who are physically building infrastructure are doing just as important of a job. You are taking some incredible risks and those are appreciated by society. Without you, designs would only be in conceptual phase, you make it happen!
My ring was literally 20$ lol if I need a replacement it’ll be around… 20$! Lol
@@2009142 I thought the replacement was around $50 lol Good to keep that number in mind in case I loose my ring
@@OsamaBaig if could be different depending on province. Sask was pretty cheap
Wow a 50,000 dollar ring with a free education that's amazing.
Student Tuition is increasing, I should update the title. Also, at the end of the day the ring is a symbol for the degree your getting 😉
Interesting but could have explained it all in way less than 11:00 min.
Cool, feel free to share a link to the video when your done 😉
@@OsamaBaig My criticism may have been wrong but it wasn't mean or unfair. You should be able take such criticism without resorting to such passive aggressive childishness.
