A CD-ROM that permits virtually anyone to specify, design and cost out a project clearly is not an appropriate basis upon which an individual can obtain professional competency to perform facilities design and construction services
By ordering and using the CD-ROM, Engineer A in a sense was self-certifying his competency to perform facilities design and construction services without obtaining the substantive education, experience, and qualifications
Engineer A, a chemical engineer, has no apparent substantive background or experience in the area of facilities design and construction
