Can An Engineer Stamp Architectural Drawings. Can expect of engineers in relation to a particular task within the practice of professional engineer-ing. Its ok for an engineer to do architecture.

By demonstrating that the task requires spe-cialized knowledge higher standards of care and responsibility for life and property guidelines help reinforce the public per ception of engineers.
And if the original plan is prepared by the professional and later revisions are made to the design especially ones not requiring new calculations or required to be performed by an architect the architect should be permitted to stamp the resulting plan without. In some jurisdictions only a licensedregistered engineer can take legal responsibility for engineering work. Who can also stamp architectural drawings. 1582 of 1956 modified by RA No.
