He didn't claim a P.E. he said he was "an excellent engineer" in an email.
- hprotagonist 9y agoseparate to his email about traffic lights, his website offers his services as an engineering consultant. that's a major no-no. he was warned twice and then got a slap on the wrist after he did it again after saying he wouldn't. edit: and yes actually, saying you're "an engineer" in an email to the state traffic board _is_ claiming a PE when you don't have one.
- snowwindwaves 9y agohttp://www.jarlstrom.com/index.html http://www.jarlstrom.com/index.html has his website changed? It doesn't say professional engineer anywhere on it.
- hprotagonist 9y agoThe language here: http://www.jarlstrom.com/consulting_.htm http://www.jarlstrom.com/consulting_.htm particularly advertisement of services as an expert witness, etc, all are problematic under oregon law. In particular, you cannot be an expert witness without being a PE. They go into this in the complaint PDF with relevant sections of law, etc.
- ghaff 9y agoI don't know Oregon law specifically but I've been an expert witness and don't have a PE.
- wtallis 9y ago>particularly advertisement of services as an expert witness, etc, all are problematic under oregon law. In particular, you cannot be an expert witness without being a PE. > They go into this in the complaint PDF with relevant sections of law, etc. None of the quoted regulations in the complaint mention being an expert witness or even use either of those words.
- wtallis 9y ago> separate to his email about traffic lights, his website offers his services as an engineering consultant. that's a major no-no. If the state board has a legitimate complaint about the language used on his web site, they shouldn't undermine their own authority by also bringing up bullshit complaints about doing math without a license. It makes the state board look like they've got a vendetta against the guy.
- mdekkers 9y agobullshit complaints about doing math without a license Which is not what they are complaining about. They are complaining about him presenting himself as an engineer, which is something he did, and shouldn't have done in Oregon. They gave him a warning about it, and he continued doing it. That wasn't smart on his part.
