This presentation intends to help both PEs and non-PEs best understand what it means for a PE to sign and stamp their work.
Each state will have specific requirements for placement of PE stamp, information to include with a PE Signature and other expected formats. This presentation seeks to inform an audience not currently involved in the PE Signature and Stamp process on the general nature of the process, from what to expect when signing, what the PE Signature and Stamp demonstrates when complete, and what to consider when assuming the role of PE over a previous PE’s work.
This presentation also seeks to guide engineering-related technical personnel (such as those that support "exempt” industry) from “ground-floor” (no process) to a successful PE Sign/Stamp process.
The presentation will highlight key topics from the resource "What a PE Says with their Signature and Stamp: A Resource for Professional Engineers”, recently published by NSPE to the general public.
Learning Outcomes
Understand wholly the general nature of the process, from what to expect when signing, what the PE Signature and Stamp demonstrates when complete, and what to consider when assuming the role of PE over a previous PE’s work.
Better convey the importance of a PE Signature and Stamp to other audiences.
