Decision question
Should Engineer Intern C refuse to perform substantive structural design work under an arrangement where the supervising licensed engineer cannot provide meaningful review due to cognitive impairment, or cooperate with the arrangement in deference to Engineer B's licensed authority?
Focus
Engineer Intern C, an unlicensed engineering intern, is asked by Engineer B to perform substantive structural design work with full knowledge that Engineer B's post-stroke impairment prevents meaningful supervision or review. Engineer Intern C must decide whether to cooperate with this arrangement or refuse participation and potentially report the situation.
Option1
Refuse to perform substantive structural design work under the impaired supervision arrangement and report the situation to the State Board or another responsible authority
Option2
Cooperate with the arrangement by performing substantive structural design with full knowledge that Engineer B cannot competently review or verify the work before sealing it
Option3
Perform only clearly defined, limited technical tasks within demonstrably supervised scope while refusing to accept responsibility for substantive design decisions that require licensed judgment
Role
Engineer Intern C — Unlicensed Engineering Intern with Knowledge of Supervising Engineer's Incapacity
