Citizen activist grates on state over traffic signals
Cox has not been accused of claiming that he is an engineer. But Lacy says he filed the complaint because the report “appears to be engineering-level work” by someone who is not licensed as a professional engineer.
This seems rather silly, and I suspect it’s just payback. I can tell you when some piece of work is done by a professional engineer: it has a stamp on the document, and it’s signed. I am at a loss as to why it would take “three or four months” to figure this out. Because if simply using engineering equations is illegal without professional certification (as if you need an engineering safety course to handle them correctly), then anyone training to be a professional engineer is breaking the law.
It seems Canadian engineers are getting mighty powerful – did you ever read this? http://blogs.plos.org/badphysics/2010/09/01/ontarioengineer/ Its about new regulations in Ontario that could seriously hamper any professional scientists conducting experiments. if I read it on your blog in the first place I apologize in advance for the recursive link
That’s ridiculous. I’m pulling my hair out reading this!
Practicing engineering without a license? Oh no! I’ve been doing that for 12 years!
makes sense to me. unless you are a mathematician, you shouldn’t be allowed to balance you checkbook either. and anyone taking aspirin for a headache should be jailed immediately for practicing medicine without a license.
Freedom requires oppression. Everybody knows that. “Thou shalt not think without granted license” is an important step in giving everybody the State-vended freedom to think. What good is a law if it is not universally exercised and prosecuted? Efficiency an economy through volume.
