PE Signature

[mark1234]

For all the liscensed PE's, it is my understanding that using P.E. following your signature is typical. If a letter that will be sent to a state outside of your liscense, is it still acceptable to sign your name with the P.E. following? These are letters to clients, builders, etc. that are not to be sealed.

Thanks in advance.

Motor, I think I see your point. For you personally to offer your personal engineering services, you need to be a PE. I don't think that would ever exclude a salesman or other person from your company offering your corporate services, although the salesman himself wasn't licensed. However, the persons who were actually to do the engineering would need to be already licensed.

And in connection with that, note that many states also require the corporation itself to be licensed- mainly a money-making move, though.

connect2,

You missed the whole point of my post. I was highlighting a grey area of the Pennsylvania law. Iwasn't looking for a philosophical discussion on whether or not a non-PE can offer an engineering opinion.

BTW - the two best engineers I ever worked for were not PE's.

bridgebuster,
Hardly philosophical, but thats fine.
