State in which a licensed engineer who generally attempts to maintain professional currency has nonetheless failed to become aware of recently published, materially relevant technical standards or design methods in their practice domain, such that their completed design work does not reflect the current state of professional knowledge, creating a gap between the engineer's applied methods and the published standard of care.
Inherited from CompetenceStandardEvolutionState
· note
State in which recently proposed design parameters or technical standards exist in the professional literature but have not yet been formally adopted as binding standards, creating ambiguity about whether a licensed engineer's failure to apply them constitutes incompetence or an ethical violation.
