primary
A senior professional engineering role within a firm that exercises general direction and supervision over engineers preparing designs, establishes the concept and design requirements, answers technical questions, reviews elements of the design as it progresses, and affixes the professional seal to plans prepared by engineers working under that direction.
Inherited from ResponsibleChargeEngineerRole
· note
An engineer in responsible charge of work, with direct control and personal supervision of the work in the sense of engineering licensure law, including responsible charge exercised through detailed review of work prepared by others. An occupational mode of practice, not a duty-relationship archetype.

An epistemic condition in which a professional sincerely believes his conduct is ethically and legally correct, here Engineer A believing he is ethically and legally correct in not giving a detailed review because of his confidence in the ability of those he has hired and who are working under his general direction and supervision.
Inherited from GoodFaithBeliefState
· note
An epistemic condition in which professionals sincerely hold their opinions and believe their activities serve the public interest, so their conduct is evaluated on the assumption of good faith rather than on whether the opinions are ultimately justified. Here the Board assumes the engineer-members of the Citizens Committee were sincere in their opinions and believed they were serving the public interest in their activities.

A resource condition in which the size of the organization and the large number of projects being designed at any one time make it impossible for the responsible engineer to give a detailed review or check of each design before sealing it.
Inherited from ResourceState
· note
A condition of availability or scarcity of the means to act: time, budget, personnel, safeguards, or access to information. As a content kind it is the standing of the means available, distinct from the Resource (Rs) component, which is a knowledge artifact. Its deontic relevance is that it conditions the feasibility of obligations; context determines dynamic priorities among duties (Almpani and Stefaneas 2022), and a means-constrained context reorders them accordingly.
