EERL researchers are celebrating an incredible milestone! 🎉
Our researchers Sangamithra Sakthivel and Joshua Parent received their very own iconic Iron Rings!
The Iron Ring is given to Canadian-trained engineers upon completion of their degree in a ceremony known as The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer. The ring serves as a symbol and reminder of the obligations and ethics associated with the engineering profession, its wide-reaching impact, and social significance.
This year marks the 99th Anniversary of this Canadian tradition! Over almost a century, it has evolved to become more inclusive and reflective of an increasingly diverse community of engineers across Canada. The tradition has also inspired some other similar traditions around the world – you can see some of our American colleagues wear their Engineer’s Rings!
