Decision Question
If Engineer A is retained as a non-engineering consultant in State M, what constraints govern the scope of services and credential presentation to preserve the permissibility of that non-engineering engagement, and does invoking the Board-certified Diplomate in Forensic Engineering title forfeit that permissibility?
Focus
The permissibility of Engineer A serving as a non-engineering consultant in State M — which the Board recognized as potentially lawful — depends on whether the substance of the expert services was genuinely non-engineering in character and whether the credential presentation maintained that non-engineering character throughout, including in the report signature block.
Option1
Serve as a non-engineering consultant and sign the report solely as 'Consultant A' with no engineering credential designations, ensuring the credential presentation is consistent with the non-engineering character of the engagement and does not invoke engineering authority in State M
Option2
Serve as a non-engineering consultant but include the Board-certified Diplomate in Forensic Engineering title in the signature block to accurately represent qualifications, on the theory that the credential is a factual description of Engineer A's certifications rather than an assertion of State M engineering authority
Option3
Decline to serve as a non-engineering consultant and instead obtain State M licensure before proceeding, so that the Board-certified Diplomate in Forensic Engineering credential can be accurately and fully invoked in the signature block without creating a credential-licensure gap
