What is a Consulting Engineer?

A consulting engineer is an independent professional engineer who performs services for clients on a contract basis without commercial or manufacturing affiliations that might bias his or her judgement. His or her services include investigations, research and development, construction management, and consultations on engineering related problems, to name a few.

To render such services properly, he or she must be qualified by education, technical knowledge and experience, with appropriate licensing by a state to practice one or more disciplines of engineering.

Consulting engineering is an important and learned profession. The members of the profession recognize that their work has a direct and vital impact on the quality of life for all people. Accordingly, the services provided by consulting engineers require honesty, impartiality, fairness and equity andmust be dedicated to the protection of public health, safety, and welfare.

In the practice of their profession, consulting engineers must perform under a standard of professional behavior which requires adherence to the highest principles of ethical conduct on behalf of the public, clients, employees and the profession.
