The statement that a Chemical Engineer shall not review the work of another Chemical Engineer who is not employed without the prior notice of the employed engineer; this assertion is:

• A. True
• B. Both parties must consent
• C. For any review
• D. False

Answer: (D)

In professional ethics, the key idea is that any review of a colleague’s work must be authorized and conducted with proper respect for confidentiality and the client’s or project owner’s permission. There isn’t a universal rule that a reviewer must first be notified by the employed engineer before reviewing work done by a non-employed engineer. What matters is having the appropriate authorization and clear scope, plus safeguarding confidential information and avoiding conflicts of interest. Therefore, the statement is not correct; reviews can proceed when proper consent and authorization are in place, rather than requiring prior notice from the employed engineer.
