Ring Application

In addition to Student Candidates graduating from a CEAB accredited engineering undergraduate program, there are other individuals that may be qualified to participate in The Calling of an Engineer, or Obligation Ceremony, at Camp 15, Waterloo and receive an iron ring as a symbol to the wearer of the ring of the obligation made during the Ceremony:

 

You may be eligible to participate as an “Senior/Other Candidate” by virtue of your provincial licensing body membership.  Included below are the qualification requirements for participation in the ceremony wherein you will make an obligation and receive a ring as a symbol to you of that obligation.

​

Qualification Requirements for Other Candidates to attend The Calling of an Engineer

​

All 28 Camps across Canada adhere to a common academically based eligibility criterion for an engineer to be obligated (receive a ring), namely, completion of an CEAB accredited degree or its deemed equivalent.  Coincidentally, this also happens to be the same as the academic requirement for professional registration with one of the provincial or territorial licensing bodies as a registered Professional Engineer ( P.Eng.).

 

Undergraduate “Student Candidates” from an accredited Canadian engineering undergraduate program are automatically qualified and invited to participate in the Ceremony.  Qualified “Senior/Other Candidates” are also invited to participate in the Ceremony and thereby receive an iron ring. To be invited “Senior/Other Candidates” must provide documentation they have met one or more of the following requirements:  

​

  1. Candidates who have successfully completed a CEAB (Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board) accredited engineering program from a Canadian university or college, OR

  2. Candidates who have confirmation of having met the academic requirements for licensure by a provincial or territorial regulator of professional engineers.
