Impaired Engineer Delegating Unsealed Work
C16
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
A licensed professional engineer who, following a medical impairment that substantially diminishes cognitive or professional capacity, continues to operate a firm by delegating substantive engineering design work to an unlicensed or insufficiently supervised engineer intern, and signs and seals completed drawings with little to no personal review, thereby misrepresenting responsible charge and endangering public safety.
