03 How is private practice different than working in industry? (PE and EIT Exams)

Since you cannot advertise your services as an "engineer" without
certification, you must make certain of the following:

o Your understanding of the legal aspect of private practice.
o How liability can affect your client(s).
o What ways you can advertise your services legally.
o Whether your client is liable for payroll taxes, providing
an industrial exemption, etc.

The NSPE and the Consulting Engineers council have done quite a bit to
provide insight in these areas. [Miles]
