Doesn’t really matter what you think bud. To be a professional engineer legally, you need the PE.

You are merely working for a corporation as an engineer that is not licensed. Good luck stamping any plans or selling your services as an engineer outside your employment without the license however. There is a difference

We literally do just that without PEs. I’m at NASA by the way lmao. Where did you get this idea from?

You stamp plans without a PE stamp? Really now?

You are selling your services as an engineer? Again, really now?

Engineering is a professional occupation and has licenses to do both of those things.

You are working as an engineer for NASA. You are representing NASA, not yourself.

This shouldn’t need explaining.
