But I assume that's more like when I get my car inspected. This is one of those things I assume exist in society, but I guess I really have no idea.

- starpilot 8y agoThe "Professional Engineer" designation is super limited and grants some statutory privileges for signing off on public projects, but not much else. The vast majority of engineers behind airplanes and cars are not PEs.
- ghaff 8y agoIt may be limited but it's not just public projects. When I worked in the offshore drilling business, senior engineers had PEs so they could sign off on drawings submitted to the ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) and perhaps others.
