In 2018, the Faculty of Engineering introduced an Iron Pin Ceremony. The highlight of the ceremony is the reciting of the UWindsor Engineering Oath and presentation of an Iron Pin to each student. By reciting the oath, students pledge to uphold the ideals and expectations of the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario, University of Windsor and Faculty of Engineering.
Ethics, integrity, respect and professionalism are key to the expectations we hold for our Engineering students as they work through the curriculum on a path to receiving their Iron Ring in their final year and a future career in Engineering. As students receive their Iron Pins, they will notice that there are three holes in the pin. The holes are placeholders for the bronze, silver, and gold medallions that they will receive following each year of their studies, having demonstrated the qualities that are detailed in the oath.
