Definition
State in which a licensed engineer in responsible charge provides only high-level conceptual direction and consultative input — establishing design concepts, reviewing progress elements, and answering technical questions — without conducting a sufficiently detailed check or review of the actual design work being sealed. The engineer relies on confidence in subordinates' abilities rather than personal verification of design adequacy.

Definition
State in which a licensed engineer in responsible charge provides only high-level conceptual direction and consultative input — establishing design concepts, reviewing progress elements, and answering technical questions — without conducting a sufficiently detailed check or review of the actual design work being sealed. The engineer relies on confidence in subordinates' abilities rather than personal verification of design adequacy.
Scope Note
[proethica-intermediate-extended] State in which a licensed professional engineer has affixed their seal or signature to plans or documents without having maintained responsible charge as defined by licensure law — specifically, without being actively engaged in the engineering process from conception to completion, without providing supervisory direction and control over the design development process, and without conducting an experience-based quality assurance review — resulting in a violation of professional licensure obligations.
