Che... I can see both of your parents arguments. I also take off/put on my ring.. same with my wedding band... force of habit, I guess. The significance of the ring? There are a few things.. taken from http://www.ironring.ca/
The ring symbolizes the pride which engineers have in their profession, while simultaneously reminding them of their humility.
The ring serves as a reminder to the engineer and others of the engineer‘s obligation to live by a high standard of professional conduct.
Basically, a reminder of the importance of engineering as a profession and the impact on peoples (read everybody in the worlds) lives. A good engineer is invisible. A poor engineer can lead to catastrophe.
chk2f lol... I am not trying to freak you out.. I mean, we all were first years at one point. The thing you gotta remember is that if you love it, it is worth it, no matter how long it takes.
I am an Electronic Systems Engineer.. basically an electrical engineer with a huge focus on light current systems. A civil engineer, hey?
Reminds me of a joke... Whats the difference between a Civil Engineer and a Mechanical (or Chemical, or Electrical, etc..) engineer?
Mechanicals (elec, chem) make the weapons, civils make the targets.. I joke... one of my good friends is finishing his masters in Civil, working with waste-water management.
What advantageous courses to take? depends on where you want to go with the CF. Since I am applying for Signals, I wouldn‘t be able to answer your questions as well as some of the Combat Engineers out there.
Good luck getting the french. My wife works in HR at the RCMP, and she got a hold of some old tests for me so I could see where I am with my french. I am not too bad, but I still have a way to go. Like getting sworn in...
You have a grat attitude. You will do great. And, proud as I am of my iron ring, I would rather keep my pinky. It may seem like a $60,000 ring, but, in reality, it can be replaced for ten bucks...
