Decision Question
Should Engineer F disclose the contractor license revocation on the employment application, or answer 'no' based on the question's literal limitation to PE license discipline?
Focus
Engineer F must decide how to answer the employment application's disciplinary history question, which asks about discipline 'in the practice of professional engineering,' given that his PE license was never revoked but his contractor's license was formally revoked for allowing an unlicensed individual to use his license number on a fire protection project.
Option1
Voluntarily disclose the contractor license revocation on the application, noting the circumstances and any remedial steps taken, recognizing that the employer's evident purpose is to assess character and fitness across all professional conduct.
Option2
Answer 'no' on the grounds that the question is expressly limited to discipline in the practice of professional engineering and PE license actions, and the contractor license revocation falls outside that literal scope.
Option3
Contact the hiring firm to ask whether the disciplinary question is intended to cover non-engineering professional licenses, thereby placing the interpretive burden on the firm and ensuring the answer given reflects the firm's actual informational intent.
