Engineering Malpractice: Avoiding Liability through Education Martin S. High, Paul E. Rossler Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OKIntroduction Not many engineers consider malpractice when they receive their engineeringdegrees or, for that matter, give it much thought during their employment. Most degreedengineers are not licensed and, even if licensed, are largely insulated from liability simplybecause plaintiffs typically choose to sue the employer rather than the employeeengineer.1 Unfortunately, as the engineering profession migrates to smaller companies,solo consultants, and idependent contractor relationships the specter of legal liabilitylooms larger Engineering
