engineer & Geoscience ring ceremonies


what is an Engineer's or geoscientist's Ring Ceremony?


 

The Ring Ceremony is the public induction of candidates into the Order of the Engineer or the Geoscientist. The engineer candidates formally accept the Obligation of an Engineer and receive a stainless steel ring or accept the Obligation of a Geoscientist and receive an Earth Ring to be worn as a symbol on the fifth finger of the working hand.

On the morning of the Ring Ceremony, APEGGA holds a workshop which allows students the opportunity to meet and discuss ethical issues with professional members of APEGGA. Four case studies are evaluated. The cases present registration, compliance, ethics and investigative issues of interest to our professions.

The workshop is followed by a luncheon then the Ring Ceremony in the afternoon.
