Editing Engineering management (section)

=== Engineering law ===
[[Engineering law]] and the related statutes are critical to management practice and engineering.<ref>California Professional Engineers Act; Business and Professions Code; 6700 - 6799; Chapter 7</ref> Engineering legislation makes engineering a controlled activity and an engineering manager must know which statutes apply to their practice. Codes of ethics can be enshrined in law. Professional misconduct and negligence are defined in law. An engineering manager must be licensed as an engineer and may have engineers, technicians and natural scientists reporting to her or him. Understanding how licensed engineers supervise non-licensed technicians and natural scientists is critical to safe practice.<ref>Professional Engineers Ontario, Assuming Responsibility and Supervising Engineering Work Guideline, February 2018.</ref>

An engineering manager must always use engineering legislation to push back against schedule pressure or budget pressure to ensure public safety.<ref>Ontario, Regulation 941, Section 77(2)(i) and Section 72(2)(j).</ref>
