Engineering or Consulting 4

[Guest090822]

I have a scenario that I would others to weigh in on. It's completely hypothetical, but led to a debate among peers.

Scenario:

Worker "A" provides calculations for a project that Worker "B" stamps with the P.E. seal. Worker "A" does not work for Worker "B" or his firm.

Did Worker "A" provide engineering services or consulting services?

Could one argue Worker "A" simply did math?

I would not sign and seal someone else's work outside of my own employees under my supervision, unless that person is a complete genius and does everything 100% correctly. I have not met that kind of person yet.

I have signed and sealed one time in the past for someone else on a 2 story Church for a simple and straightforward project (about 15 beams). I wouldn't consider doing it for anything bigger than that due to liability. Worker "A" didn't just do math because engineering is more complicated than equations and numbers.
