One of the main goals of enforcing a P.E. license is to ensureengineering graduates follow ethical responsibility to protect public health, safety, and welfare.Currently, every state regulates the practice of engineering to ensure public safety by grantingonly Professional Engineers (PEs) the authority to sign and seal engineering plans and offer theirservices to the public [10].Historical data to regulate engineering practices in the United States dates back to the early1900s when the state of Wyoming established licensing requirements in 1907 [10].

These are the harms we aim to prevent.Someone reading this may think the use of the word harm is an extreme choice in engineering education.After all, we, as engineers, are members of a privileged discipline highly esteemed in society. Ethics is atthe core of what we do because our actions protect and keep people safe. We engage in extensive trainingto prevent deaths in the air, sea, and land. Our disciplinary brand revolves around reliability, precision,and consistency. We are rational. Engineering departments, colleges, and professional

For one, graduate students struggle to balance the time commitments necessary for astructured training program with coursework and other academic program requirements. Further,we must consider the ethical concerns and risks associated with graduate students mentoringundergraduates due to the power differential that arises from the differences in their levels ofdevelopment and life experience.
