Why?

Only special ring is the student loan shackles toward career and financial depression. 

Lol...Only Canadian engineering students get the iron ring, no one else and there's a reason behind it. If you wanted one you should of became a Canadian engineering student.

Non Seq: Curiosity at this point. I'm involved in a student group and some people have been asking about it/know people from other Canadian universities who have received or purchased them.

Josh: I thought it would probably be more a school ring, or a graduation memento as opposed to the engineering ring.

archi: I know the story behind the engineering ring, if I wanted one of those I would have finished that degree instead of this one.

^ I've graduated from 2 different Canadian architecture universities and never has the subject of rings been brought up. Tell who ever needs a trinket as a memento for their school years to order a the typical Josten's ring.

The cult around the p.eng pinky finger ring is embarrassing enough. No need to adopt that.

It's in the US too: Order of the Engineer ring: http://www.order-of-the-engineer.org/?page_id=10

I've seen some architect's take the school ring from the MArch school, though traditionally it's a collegiate thing.

wow.. i thought this ended in highschool.

You'll have rings under your eyes, I guess.
