The Iron Ring - What it Means to be a Canadian Engineer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лют 2020
- The Iron Ring is a ring that is given out to Canadian Engineers before entering the workforce. It serves as a reminder of the ethics they learned, and the obligation they took to serve and better society. This video, we look at the meaning behind the Iron Ring and whether it holds a subjective, more personal, meaning.
To me personally, the ring reminds me to consistently challenge myself. The only way to improve and be better is to overcome hard obstacles. As hard obstacles become easy, new challenges need to be made.
This video was a challenge for me. I stepped out of my comfort zone to produce it, but I'm super excited to finally share it with you guys. I hope you enjoy it, and learn a bit about the tradition and meaning behind The Iron Ring.

I have one on my pinky, it's the most valuable piece of jewelry i have for sure. Every time i see the ring, it reminds me who i am, and my obligation of perfection for whatever I do.
I'll show these to some of my students. The Iron Ring is truly a symbol of something for engineers. For me it was a reminder a constant reminder of my obligations and the priority of that obligation in 4 four years of difficult practice due to a difference in opinion and outlook between me and my bosses. Thanks for posting this.
This makes me inspired to finishy electrical engineering degree. This instills pride in my heart and a desire to be greater in my soul. Thank you for the video
Watching this video made me feel so proud, honored to be an engineer. I proudly wear my ring and now I can help people around me in so many ways. Thank you for this video!
Is it true you get tons of homework as an engineering student?
@@tdioxin2658 yes
I think the ring and the ethos behind the ring is cool, however the society is amiss in keeping this to Canada, the world would be a better place if all engineers in the world subscribed to and were a part of this tradition.
100% agreed. Especially since engineers design major structures like bridges and buildings. I’ll retell a quote I heard in school “a doctor can take 1 life with a mistake, an engineer can kill 1000s with 1 mistake”
Nicely edited. Thought it was an interesting story when you got yours, still very cool. Hope this video gets 1000s of views!
It is definitely an interesting story, and an inspirational one as well. Was really excited to share this one with everyone
I am proud to have one and wear it. Should have mentioned why an iron ring etc.
I'm very proud of it as well. What type of engineering did you graduate from?

How about you?
I took Software Engineering at UOIT. Although they have now rebranded to Ontario Tech University
Great video Moy I’m glad to see you still putting content out there even thought this is a step in a new direction and from what I see your going in the right direction, great video
Thanks dude! Good to hear from you. I think so too. I poured a lot into this video, and I loved every second of it
I wish we had this its so cool 😮
Om. IRON is Significant in many aspects for any Engineer. God Bless
okay this is epic.
Not as epic as your pants
If every Engineer viewed and like this video.....the possibilities. Are there rings worn fron Graduates outside of Canada?
Other countries have slightly different traditions. However, Canada was the first one and others have adopted the tradition.
To most people that ring is just a ring. But to Engineers that ring is an oath and a ring of promise.
I wonder if we got something as ritualistic as this in the states. Besides A113 or the like.
Engineer pride 🦾
I met a US engineer (graduated from Ohio). His school has iron ring also.
nice content
Thank you!
They solve practical problems
Question....I am currently a retired Power Engineer. I was in a 5 year study program with the Northern/Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, while putting in the required hours for the program, in heavy Industry, back in the late 70s-1980. I have 32 years in heavy Industry, and was a Power Engineering Instructor for 10 years. Am I allowed to wear an iron ring, or do I have to have a University Degree?
You would have to check with the Alberta engineering chapter. I’m not too sure what the answer is to your specific situation
I really liked the idea of a symbol that reminds one of their duties and the legacy of past engineers. I have not graduated from that Canadian University but being an engineer who loves his job, I would get myself such a ring (or make one myself) and wear it with pride.
P.S. Not exactly a replica of this ring. Just a silver band for the pinky finger.
I think that’s a great idea! What kind of engineer are you?
I did my engineering in Computer Science and I am working as a Software Engineer from past 4 years.
It's a never ending learning cycle. As of now most of my time is spent getting better at Computer Science (because I am relatively new to the field) but I have started to like other fields of engineering as well. I can't imagine myself doing anything other than making, breaking and understanding things. :D
@@Sahil-mx9ry hey have you bought the ring`?` if yes would you say you have it ona tt all times and where can one buy
I wish America had something like this. Well…MIT does
Im gonna be an engineering student in mcmaster. Saw the trandition and then im here.
Hey, congratulations! Hope you get to enjoy the ceremony and wear the tradition proudly once you graduate.
Rudyard Kipling also wrote a white man’s burden
Okay... I'm a Canadian who lives in the US and am going to go to University to become an engineer. Would it be weird if I got one?
I don’t think it’s weird at all! You do need to go to a Canadian university however to qualify
Kind of late to reply. But you need to have gone to a Canadian university to participate in the Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer and get your ring. You can't just randomly start wearing it since the ring is a reminder of the oath you said at the ritual. Some universities in the US have a similar tradition however. Their ring is different though ; it's smooth without facets.
Where does the iron from the ring come from? Why is it an iron ring?
There is an important piece of information missing from this video.
The iron is just iron from anywhere. It’s a misconception that it comes from the Quebec Bridge collapse in 1907.
Why iron? It’s a common engineering material.
I find that most who wear it don't know what it really means.
Mister Fusion I’m hoping this video can provide a little insight as to what it means to an engineer as well as inspire young engineers to-be. It can be subjective, but there is a clear history and symbol to the iron ring.
Where can I buy one!
You will receive one at graduation from your school. You need to meet qualifications before you receive one.
Here from tiktok
Really? From who?
@@DanielMoy @/engineermeg on tiktok!
@@hfsmhdd okay he’s I have seen this video! Well hopefully this can provide a little bit of backstory on the iron ring
sadly oaths mean nothign nowadays to sme...look at all th edoctors in the recent years...
