Description of the Ethics, Professionalism and Disciplinary Case Studies course

The Ethics, Professionalism and Disciplinary Case Studies online PDH course is a part of the Ethics, Laws and Rules category of courses.

Codes of ethics for engineers typically describe standards for professional behavior.  The enforcement of those ethical standards that are inscribed into law lies with licensing boards of state governments.  In this course, ten case studies of actual enforcement actions by a state licensing board are presented.  The cases have been selected to be representative of situations likely to exist in many states.  Board procedures and the types of enforcement action available are shown by a variety of cases ranging from a geotechnical engineer who produced (within one hour and without visiting the site) a soils report, to an engineer who was unable to document his PDH’s during a board audit.  The importance of being very careful about when to put “P.E.” after one’s name on a document also will become apparent. This course is intended for all engineers and architects interested to gain a deeper understanding of the concept of negligence in engineering practice.

Case studies of enforcement actions by a professional engineering state licensing board are examined to demonstrate board procedures and the types of enforcement action likely to occur.

This course is intended for all construction professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of what constitutes ethical and professional engineering behavior and how such behavior is enforced by a licensing board.
