Abstract:

A group of engineers leave their employer to start their own firm. As the new firm contacts clients from its former employer, each firm casts doubt on the capability of the other firm to provide competent services. This is an open-ended scenario for discussion based on a case from the NSPE Board of Ethical Review.
