The Calling of an Engineer (French: l'Engagement de l'ingénieur) is a private ceremony, 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 or have otherwise qualified academically for registration as a professional engineer (such as through technical examinations). The Calling is administered by a body called The Corporation of the Seven Wardens. As part of the ceremony each participant is conferred the Iron Ring.
