Engineer's Ring
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Engineer's Ring is a ring worn by members of the Order of the Engineer. The ring is a plain stainless steel band worn on the little finger of the working hand. It is similar in purpose to the Iron Ring given in The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer in Canada.
Engineers receive the ring after taking an oath known as The Obligation of an Engineer, during a ring ceremony. The ring is symbolic of the obligations accepted by the wearer, and additionally serves to visibly identify the wearer as an engineer. The ring is worn on the little finger so that it will drag across any surface on which the wearer writes, providing a constant reminder of the engineer's oath.
