Unlicensed Engineer

II. Background of the case

Charles Landers was an unlicensed engineer for Constructing Engineers and a

former Anchorage assembly man. He was found guilty of forging partner Henry Wilson's
signature and using his professional seal on at least 40 documents. The falsification of the
documents was done without Wilson's knowledge. Circuit Judge Michael Wolverton
banned Charles Landers for 1 year from practicing as an engineers, architects, or land
surveyors assistant. The judge also sentenced him to 20 days in jail, 160 hours of
community service, $4,000 in fines, and 1 year of probation.

VI. Alternative Solutions

 1. It is clear that Landers action is absolutely wrong. It cannot be tolerated anymore and
Landers must be punished according to the law. It also will become a warning to other
unlicensed engineer if they want to do what Landers does.
2. Landers must give press-conference regarding to Wilson position and the misuse of
Wilsons documents. Landers also must beg for apologize from the public.
3. Landers must acknowledge his wrong action. Then, before he is put into the jail, he must
make an announcement in order to repair Wilsons name and the engineering profession.

VII. Conclusions

Landers action is not a small mistake. It is a big one. Landers has lied to Wilson,
public, and to all engineer. Landers did not realize that his action will endanger the public
safety and also endanger the trust of the public to the engineers. This action must be
punished with a great punishment in order to make Landers wary and also to warn other
unlicensed engineers who want to act like Landers.
