graduated engineers.. will you help me?
 

so i want an engineering ring. they're pretty cheap to get replaced for you guys, I'll pay for the ring and get you some beers if you can hook it up.

i want an engineering ring to piss off a few engineers i know who made a big deal about me not being able to get one when I said it looked cool.

i wanted this a few years ago, but i don't care all that much. that other thread made me think about posting it here.

my pinky is a size 8 i think.

It is an octegon shape ring or something with angles like that, right?

Our rings is just a plain silver one with a black thin band around it. Architect has just a silver ring.

hehehe dude, u can just file ur own iron ring.
i remember one of my friends did it and it looked like the real thing

Re: graduated engineers.. will you help me?
 

Just get your own made, but i highly doubt you'll be able to get one from an engineer. I don't think my dad has ever taken his off, and my buddies that just received they're are all nuts over them.

the ring is not a fashion statement. it's symbolic and a constant reminder of the importance of their jobs. people seem to forget that and think of it only as a tradition.

we would love to help you, but we're actually proud of our rings and the fact that only we are able to get them :)

those rings are gay

and all u have to do is go to a 0.25$ machine and u can get one :wavey:

its looks like a friggin nut. Engineers are so cocky that ring means ****! lol :P who are they really impressing..come on now...Its like a guy in a muscle car reving his engine at a stop light..haah Im starting to think the ones I know are developing an inferiority complex.....sheesh:p

Well, I'm speechless. I not sure what to say. First off, those of you who think we engineers show our rings off to people just to gain respect are sadly mistaken. Secondly, it's human nature to be proud of our accomplishments. Thus, I am proud of my ring but, I don't deliberately try and work it into a conversation with my friends...LOL...that's just too funny...hahahaha. It is a symbol of our hard work and dedication to the field and it reminds me of all the hard work I put into attaining it. I'm sorry if this upsets you guys who think this ring maybe ghey or what not but, honestly, you guys need to get out there and get a life and meet people. All this hostility over a ring is infantile.

there is no hostility.

these is a lot of ego involved.

and i like to give my friends hassle.

infantile? sure. i have never said I was mature.

Engineer here, but i dont even wear my ring. But yea i am dam proud of that ring. It cost me over $25G and a lot of hard work to earn it.

The actually purpose of the engineering ring is to remind engineers of their committement to the health and saftey of society with anything they do. We got big responsibilities!

exactly..... I see that as a bad thing.

If you design/build/certify a bridge and it collapses and kills a lot of people, you can lose all your belongings in lawsuits. You'll be screwed.

If I design/build/certify a bridge and it collapses and kills a lot of people, I can sit back and laugh at the engineers.

I have no beef with the ring. MY gf and our friends are in engineering. Im just buggin. Some are cocky though, you have to admit. I think the ring is cool. And what doughboy said is right:)
