Another thing that makes this smell like a corporate shell game, is that the design firm is insisting that we review the designs there in their office.
Even though I sat there for a week and the only interaction I had with the design firm's personnel was to ask if I'm done yet.
Seems like a...
Yes, I'm talking about other peoples completed work.
Of course I would stamp any and all work done under my supervision.
And for #3, was just one of the many thoughts, that whirled around in my head, not my primary motivation.
Sometimes you got to soldier though the "not fun" work, but you also...
re: GregLocork
1. I do not want to stamp other people's work, regardless to country of origin.
2. I do not want to participate, and facilitate the outsourcing of my profession to countries with vastly different labor rates.
3. I love the creative side of Engineering, and I don't want to number...
So it appears that I've overcome the first hurdle in this situation.
That being that I'm not going to affix my PE seal to this work.
After a quiet day back at my home office friday, my super told me that he discussed this with the owner, and he is okay with it.
Not gonna get fired, there is...

Just makes me wonder why doesn't this big corporation us hire some PE's to oversee....even remotely, and get them to stamp the projects.
As apposed to sub-ing it out to a little mom and pop Engineering Company?
I only been here 3 months....

The Owner and Designer are both multinational corporations with Global HQ's in Europe.
I did look up some news articles on the project, and just getting more jaded, the same ole story millions in tax breaks, promises for thousands for local jobs, etc.
The designs are good, and appear to be well thought out.
All the shapes are Chinese standard, so was hard to get a "feel" for the robust-ness of it.
All of the main assemblies are being built in China and shipped over in barges, which was another one of the load cases to consider.
I realize...
The Company that I was "loaned" to, is the US engineering office for a very large petro-chemical company.
They just had a big layoff.
I understand that 80% of the design work out of this office is from overseas.
They affix their US HQ location on the drawings giving the illusion that they are...
Both the State Board and NSPE just direct me to their web site, and are just willing to repeat the statements there.
And NOT render an opinion.
It seems I must discern this for myself.
Having been laid off twice recently, at the ripe age of 50, I'm not afraid of losing this job.
So, I told...
Thanks for the PA link.
I am in PA.
I clearly do not meet the definition of "responsible charge"
and it seems a step outside "the spirit of the law" as well.
Hey all,
I find myself stuck in a moral and ethical dilemma.
For the next 6 months my company sub'ed me out to a large corporation, where I am to review and seal designs created in India.
I guess this is the new normal in the push to Globalization.
I contacted my state Board to see if this...
