A sealed drawing is a legal act, not only a technical one.
Engineering programs spend years on mechanics, materials, and systems, and remarkably little time on the legal framework that governs how that work is used, relied upon, and challenged. The result is a profession full of engineers who can size a beam with complete confidence but cannot say, with the same confidence, when a duty of care extends to someone they never contracted with, what a contract clause has quietly obliged them to carry, or where the boundary of licensed practice actually sits.

That gap stays invisible until it becomes expensive. Legal exposure in engineering rarely announces itself in advance. It arrives as a claim, a regulator's inquiry, a disciplinary complaint, or a client instruction an engineer knows is wrong but cannot explain why they are entitled to refuse.

This book develops the legal and regulatory structure governing professional engineering practice from first principles, in plain language, assuming no prior study of law, and connects every principle to decisions engineers actually make.
