Engineer's Ring

[1] The ring is usually a stainless steel band worn on the pinky finger of the dominant hand.

Rings used to be cast in iron in the most unattractive and simple form to show the nature of work.

[2] Starting in 1970,[1] it was inspired by the Iron Ring, which is part of the original Canadian Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer ceremony first attended a century ago in 1922.

[3] Only those who have met the standards of professional engineering training or experience can accept the Obligation, which is voluntarily received for life.

As an engineer, I, (full name), pledge to practice Integrity and Fair Dealing, Tolerance, and Respect, and to uphold devotion to the standards and dignity of my profession, conscious always that my skill carries with it the obligation to serve humanity by making best use of the Earth's precious wealth.
