Dr. Kenny Corscadden, Associate Dean Research, received his Iron Ring in a ceremony held March 4^th in Halifax.

The Iron Ring ceremony calls upon all Engineering graduates to uphold the principles of professionalism and to perform their work to the best of their ability. The first ceremony was held in 1925.

Dr. Corscadden has been an Engineer for 24 years, studying engineering in the UK, graduating with a BEng 1^st class honours in June 1993. 听

鈥淚 became a member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the UK equivalent of Engineers Canada which does not have an iron ring tradition,鈥� he explained.

Dr. Corscadden became a full member and Chartered Engineer with the IET in 2000 allowing him to use the designation CEng and was elected to Fellow in 2013 (FIET). 听

Dr. Corscadden came to Canada in 2003.听 Although his qualifications were recognized by Engineers Canada he had to provide evidence of his four years of professional engineering experience and pass the ethics and law exam. 听

鈥淚 became a professional Engineer in 2009 allowing me to use the designation Peng,鈥� he added. 鈥淧revious iron ring ceremonies seemed to clash with other activities, however this year I ensured that the date was free and I was able to receive my ring.听 It was a great privilege to stand with the Faculty of Agriculture Engineering alumni to receive my ring.鈥�

Congratulations Kenny!
