Extracted from facts primary
State in which a professional engineer, having already been convicted of a criminal offense and placed under supervised probation, commits additional criminal acts (such as fraudulent check-writing) during the probationary period while actively employed as an engineer, a compounded integrity violation state that intensifies ethical scrutiny because the engineer's continued professional employment did not deter further dishonest conduct, and because the pattern of repeated offenses strengthens the inference that the engineer's character is incompatible with the trust obligations of the profession.
