Iron ring?

I'm not even sure it makes sense to *me*. But it would probably help to know that all Engineers get an iron ring when they graduate.
"The Iron Ring is a symbolic ring worn by many Canadian engineers. Obtaining the ring is an optional endeavour – the ring is not a prerequisite for practicing professional engineering in Canada."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Ring
I understood it as you don't need to get a ring, but it is a pretty habit. :)

Oh. Also: http://wastedtalent.ca/index.php?view=215
i just read the wiki, that's actually a really cool custom!
That really is pretty cool. I wish software engineers got something for graduating :(
Like a sledgehammer for beaing uncooperative co-workers and computers! Yeah, you could call it "The Piecemaker" Stylish and practical :) And now I'm just rambling. Sorry.
Canadian Software Engineers that came from an accredited program, generally a subset of Electrical & Computer engineering, *do* get an iron ring.
ooooooooooooo May it never rust~
Mine was stainless stell.
uh ... steel. I'm an engineer not an english major.
DI-NO-SAWR!!!!!
Engineering school teaches the secret of iron, obviously. We mere mortals can only guess what the ring really symbolizes.
