Created by
National Society of Professional Engineers (via Code Section 3(e))
Document title
Professional Norm Against Exaggerated Qualification Statements in Engineering Employment
Importance
high
Used by
NSPE Board of Ethical Review in distinguishing permissible 'emphasis' from prohibited 'exaggeration'
Used in context
Provides the substantive professional standard against which Doe's conduct is measured — the Board interprets the standard to prohibit deliberate factual untruths about prior employment, but not the selective emphasis of genuine qualifications
Version
Interpreted in this case as applying to deliberate untruths, not mere emphasis
Source Evidence
Source text
We hold that the word 'exaggerated' in the code applies only to deliberate untruths of the facts of former employment rather than the emphasis placed on the degree of experience or other qualifications which may be involved
Text references
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 in order that the employer not be tricked into entrusting important engineering decisions to one not qualified to make them
