	The Iron Ring
		One of the speakers was civil engineer Professor Haultain of the University of Toronto.
		The Ritual is administered by a body called The Corporation of the Seven Wardens Inc./Société des Sept Gardiens inc. The seven past-presidents of the Engineering Institute of Canada in 1922 were the original seven Wardens.
		It is not a symbol of qualification as an engineer - this is determined by the provincial and territorial licensing bodies.

		Engineers typically include a factor of safety in their designs to reduce the risk of unexpected failure.
		Historically, engineering has been seen as a somewhat dry, uninteresting field in popular culture, and has also been thought to be the domain of nerds (with little of the romance that attaches to hacker culture).
		This tradition was originally developed in Canada in the Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer as a symbol of pride and obligation for the engineering profession.

		The Ring is given as part of "The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer", written by Rudyard Kipling.
		The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer is the ceremony where Iron Rings are given to graduating engineers who choose to obligate themselves to the highest professionalism and humility of their profession.
		Invitations to attend are extended to local engineering alumni and professionals (who have taken the obligation - non-obligated engineers may choose to register to take the obligation, but may not participate otherwise until obligated themselves), as well as to obligated engineers by those who are scheduled to take the obligation.

		Engineers as professionals take seriously their responsibility to produce designs that will perform as expected and will not cause unintended harm to the public at large.
		In science fiction engineers are often portrayed as highly knowledgeable and respectable individuals who understand the overwhelming future technologies often portrayed in the genre.
		Second, engineering research employs many semi-empirical methods that are foreign to pure scientific research, one example being the method of parameter variation.

	wolfstu: The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer
		In Canada, graduating students of engineering take part in The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer, a ceremony in which participants are presented with a traditional token called the Iron Ring, symbol of their profession and their attitude towards it.
		The Ritual, you'll recall, originated in a time when the engineering profession was under significant scrutiny by the broader society; the same year that Dr. Haultain from U of T wrote to Kipling, the Ontario government passed the Professional Engineers Act to regulate the profession.
		During the ceremony, the young engineer is called to place a hand on "cold iron", symbol of the material of construction, most important engineering material in the time Kipling wrote the Ritual, and probably still today.

		It is an achievement because the disaster caused a heightened awareness of careful planning and responsibility in civil engineering.
		An understanding of physics could have explained why the bridge was doing this and could have corrected the problem, preventing a huge loss of life.
		It also tells an engineer to keep in mind the safety of the workers constructing their product and also the safety of the consumers who will be using the product in the future.

		All Engineering students, no matter which stream they are in, take courses which lay the foundation to take advanced courses specific to their stream in subsequent years.
		In engineering we specify prerequisites not only so that a student has learned the appropriate background material before attempting a more advanced course but also so that students have been exposed to various concepts and ideas before discussing their implications.
		In addition to the technical side of an engineering education, engineering students must be exposed to the nature and practice of the engineering profession, ethics, the impact of technology on society as well as the arts and social sciences.
