Arizona Man Sues State Agency over Right to Call Himself an Engineer

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]
