Re: Engineers Seal and Signature Required in Illinois
This is from Texas, but I'm sure Illinois is very simillar.
Texas Administrative Code
TITLE 22 EXAMINING BOARDS
PART 6 TEXAS BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS
CHAPTER 131 PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE
SUBCHAPTER A BYLAWS AND DEFINITIONS
RULE ?131.18 Definitions
(9) Direct supervision--Critical watching, evaluating, and directing of engineering activities with the authority to review, enforce, and control compliance with all engineering design criteria, specifications, and procedures as the work progresses. Direct supervision will consist of an acceptable combination of: exertion of significant control over the engineering work, regular personal presence, reasonable geographic proximity to the location of the performance of the work, and an acceptable employment relationship with the supervised persons. Engineers providing direct supervision of engineering under the Texas Engineering Practice Act, 18(b), shall be personally present during such work.
I believe the last sentence supports charlie b's stance.
