I thought if you’re not constructing bridges, or dealing with high voltage or pressure vessels... you don’t need an engineering lic.

Heck, I’ve worked on many FAA class A flight critical projects in Arizona, without a board licensed engineer on the team.

This needs to be overturned. 5v USB umbrellas need professional certs? Seems like an overreach.

Interestingly you can design a wastewater treatment plant in arizona without a PE license, but there are no exemptions for any type of engineering except that which would be done by a civil or structural engineer.[0] At the same time though, the word "engineer" in isolation is not protected in Arizona the way it is in some other states.[1]

He has the word “engineering” in the title of his company, which is typically prohibited. How the hell can they tell him to stop practicing “engineering”? What is their definition of engineering?

How is that prohibited but I can call my company "Patent and Trademark Office" or "Patend and Trademark bureau" and send out fake bills that look like the come from the actual USPTO?

If you find this appalling, go check out what happens if you call yourself a Realtor.

Can you please recommend some sources on this? Sounds interesting.

Or if you want to cut or style hair.

Seems like an attack against free speech.
