Document title
NSPE Code of Ethics – Section 3(e): Prohibition on Exaggerated Qualification Statements in Employment Listings
Importance
high
Used by
NSPE Board of Ethical Review in deliberating on Engineer Doe's conduct
Used in context
The Board construes and applies Section 3(e) to evaluate whether Engineer Doe's emphasis on his managerial and administrative experience constitutes a prohibited 'exaggerated statement' of qualifications when seeking new employment during the aerospace unemployment crisis
Version
Historical (section no longer exists in current Code)
Source Evidence
Source text
We construe Section 3(e) to include employment, although the word 'listed' reference to being 'listed' for employment
Text references
Note: The following Code sections no longer exist: Code of Ethics-Section 3(e)-'The engineer will not allow himself to be listed for employment using exaggerated statements of his qualifications.'
The purpose of Section 3(e), we prefer to believe, is to protect a prospective employer from being deceived as to the competence of an engineer-applicant
We construe Section 3(e) to include employment, although the word 'listed' reference to being 'listed' for employment
