http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#QualificationTransparencyinProfessionalTitleUse
Applied to
Brochure-Relying Engineering Services Consumer
ENGCO Licensed PE Staff
ENGCO Non-Degreed Engineer-Titled Staff
Engineering Brochure Reader
Balancing with
Loyalty
Concrete expression
ENGCO's brochure must distinguish between licensed PE staff and non-licensed, non-degreed staff through accurate title use, so that clients and the public can accurately assess the qualifications and accountability of personnel performing engineering-related work
Confidence
0.91
Importance
high
Interpretation
Transparency requires that the distinction between licensed PEs and other technical staff be legible to readers of the brochure; using the same title 'Engineer' for both groups obscures this distinction
Invoked by
ENGCO Engineering Title Misuse Inquiring Firm
Tension resolution
Transparency to clients and the public overrides any firm interest in presenting a uniformly credentialed workforce
Source Evidence
