Obligation statement
Engineer A was obligated to evaluate XYZ Engineers' State Z qualification proposal against State Z's specific licensing board rules and, having concluded that the presentation violated those rules' specific attribution requirements, was obligated to report the misconduct to the State Z licensing board.
Temporal scope
Upon identifying that XYZ Engineers' State Z proposal violated State Z's specific attribution rules
Source Evidence
Source text
The situation in State Z is different.
Text references
A key message from this case is that, when considering reporting the unethical practices of others vis-à-vis state licensure law, engineers need to look to the specific Rules of Professional Conduct of the individual engineering licensing jurisdiction in which the others are practicing since those rules vary by jurisdiction.
State Z's rules in this regard are very clear, and require that next to the specific project listing, the previous firm be named and that Engineer B's specific role on that project be clearly described.
The BER concludes that Engineer A has a clear obligation to report the misconduct to the engineering licensing board in State Z.
The presentation by Engineer B and XYZ Engineers did not meet the specifics of this Rule and, accordingly, under that Rule, constituted misconduct on the part of both the individual and the firm.
The situation in State Z is different.
