Decision question
Should Engineer A offer engineering services in a discipline for which the only claimed qualification is completion of a commercial CD-ROM?
Focus
After acquiring the CD-ROM, Engineer A must decide whether to offer engineering services in the new discipline to prospective clients. This decision point represents the convergence of multiple obligation violations simultaneously: practicing outside competency, misrepresenting qualifications, failing to protect public health and safety, and failing to retain qualified specialists. The normative record confirms all four related obligations were unmet. This is the point at which abstract misrepresentation becomes concrete public safety risk.
Option1
Engineer A refrains from offering services in the new discipline and informs prospective clients that genuine competency has not yet been established, directing them to appropriately credentialed specialists.
Option2
Engineer A proceeds to market and offer engineering services in the new discipline, representing the CD-ROM completion as sufficient qualification to prospective clients and the public.
Option3
Engineer A offers services in the new discipline while privately subcontracting the technical work to a qualified specialist, without disclosing to clients that Engineer A personally lacks the claimed competency.
Role
Engineer A
