Definition

Licensed professional engineer retained to provide non-engineering expert services in State M where the engineer held no license. Engineer A omitted the P.E. designation from the report signature but signed as Board-certified Diplomate in Forensic Engineering, which incorporates the word Engineer and requires PE licensure, thereby invoking engineering credentials and bringing the engagement under State M licensing law in violation of ethics and law.
