Professional Eng should be allowed to practice as consultant & as contractors at the same time. Do u agree?
comment about this statement.
reason if argee and disagree.
i do agree that professional enginerrs should be allowed to practice as consultant and as contractors at the same time because ideally speaking engineers should be a well rounded type of person..not only by profession..a professional engineer must be considerate as well as engineers can be considered as a person with
a multi-tasking abilities..
professional engineers can visualize brilliant ideas at the same time can do it realistically…
in some area….there is somebody who specializes a particular field to practice…. professional engineers can rely on consultants and contractors but still the whole idea of process…still…comes from engineers..
In some ways I agree; but in others I dont. A PEng is going to know more of the design end and not so much the practical building end of it, like the contractor. In short, the Enginner is the theory guy.
A fully licensed contractor knows how things connect, and how things work by using their hands to actually build it, an Engineer know what he thinks will work by book knowledge alone. The contractor knows what it will take to do a certain thing (materials, ect) and how its all gonna fit together…. in a practical sense.
The engineer just comes up with the ideas…. and although designs look good on paper, they are not always plausabble. A contractor will be able to tell the engineer whether it will work or not and why.
I think it would be a great idea to incorporate both, but the PEng should be required to spent some time with a contracting company if that is the case.
