The story of the Engineer's Ring

The Engineer's Ring (also known as the Iron Ring, the Ring of Disgrace) is a ring awarded only to engineering graduates from top universities in North America to warn and remind them of their responsibilities and obligations to the public and society. This ring is known as the "most expensive ring in the world", and its significance is as significant as a military medal. Throughout the Western world, the iron ring has become a symbol of the outstanding identity and noble status of an outstanding engineer. The outer surface of the ring has 10 facets on both sides. This ring originated from the Quebec Bridge tragedy in Canada. 

In 1900, the Quebec Bridge began construction, crossing the St. Lawrence River. In order to build the longest bridge in the world at that time, the bridge that could have become an immortal masterpiece was designed by engineers, and the net distance of the main span was unexpectedly increased from 487.7 meters to 548.6 meters. At 5:32 pm on August 29, 1907, as the bridge was about to be completed, a collapse occurred, resulting in 75 deaths and 11 injuries among the 86 workers on the bridge. The accident investigation showed that this tragedy was caused by a small computational error in the engineer's design. The painful lesson sparked people's contemplation, and from then on, the steel bars of the collapsed bridge were recast into rings. For about 100 years, it constantly reminded every engineer defined as an elite of their obligations and responsibilities.
