Among the more significant considerations in this area are the extent to which such practice may constitute a conflict of interest, whether the individual is using the materials, equipment, and resources of the individual's full-time employer in pursuing and performing part-time work, and whether such practices are consistent with the policies and procedures of the employer

As with all such cases, a review of all of the facts and circumstances is critical to a determination of the ethical issues
The Board noted in Case 97-1 that these cases frequently raise the question of whether an engineer can ethically devote sufficient attention to the responsibilities involved
