The
Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer is a private
ritual, authored by
Rudyard Kipling, in which students about to graduate from an engineering program at a university in Canada are permitted to participate. Participation may also be permitted for Canadian
professional engineers and registered engineers-in-training who received training elsewhere. The ritual is administered by a body called
The Corporation of the Seven Wardens. As part of the ritual each participant is conferred the
Iron Ring.
