Code I’m Still Ashamed Of

I'm currently an undergrad studying software engineering at a Canadian university, and I'm going to go through the whole Iron Ring ceremony when I graduate. The program here does seem to focus more on ethics, albeit in a somewhat generalized 'engineering' be-careful-when-you-build-a-bridge way, but I've still had some good takeaways that apply to building software.

The Iron Ring ceremony was one I didn't realize existed until our graduating class of nuclear engineers were told "Oh, by the way, you're all going." This was in The South in the USA.

I love it. I have yet to take the ring off. It's a great way to initiate conversations about ethics and a great way to tangibly emphasize my personal pursuit in being ethical.

Where was this done? I wouldn't mind doing so in Texas as a software engineer since we don't have PE's.
