The Board imposed an administrative fine of $1,000 and costs of $9,550.45; an appearance before the Board; and a two-year probation with terms. The terms include reviews of all structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering projects at six- and 18-month intervals; and successful completion of the Board’s Study Guide and a Board-approved basic course in engineering ethics and professionalism. Final Order was filed June 16, 2022.
