Engineering Board Exam Reviewer · ECE · hard

A registered Electronics Engineer is asked by a friend to sign and seal plans prepared entirely by an unknown third party, which the engineer has not reviewed or supervised, in exchange for a fee. The engineer should:

1. Refuse, because signing plans not prepared or supervised by oneself is unethical and may be illegal
2. Sign them since it is a common practice
3. Sign them only if the fee is high enough
4. Sign them but use a different seal

Answer

A. Refuse, because signing plans not prepared or supervised by oneself is unethical and may be illegal

Solution

This is 'plan stamping', which violates professional ethics and may lead to revocation of the license.
