Where does New Mexico stand on the Industry exception for drawings / documents stamping
(OP)
Any help on where the New Mexico Board of engineers stand for Industry Exception for drawings / Documents stamping would be appreciated.
A reference to their state laws on this matter would help.
Thanks

A few years ago the board put on seminars where board members would give talks and then answer questions (this qualified for the ethics PDH requirement). I didn't see one in 2014 so I took a very lame industry ethics course. When they did those seminars, that question came up every session. The last one I did was 2010 so their position could easily have changed, but back then, the big issue in Oil & Gas was SPCC plans. The NM board said they didn't think that SPCC plans qualified as "holding yourself out to the public as an engineer" and they said that they wouldn't be checking stamps on SPCC plans (the federal regulation requires a P.E. stamp). This discussion really brought out that the NM board (then) felt like their role is protecting the public, not companies. If you were doing the structural stuff on a building that people would be working in, then the drawings/calcs needed to be stamped, but if you are doing hydraulic calculations for vessel sizing there wasn't a public-safety component and they didn't care if it was stamped or not.
That was 5 years ago and the Texas nonsense has stirred up a bunch of new mud in the water. I'd check with the board.

However, this particular clause in the statute does not control the actions of unlicensed individuals nor does it address whether (the work in question) requires a licensed individual.

cvg - Read the definition of the "Practice of Engineering". It is tremendously broadly worded and almost every real engineer in any industry is "practicing engineering". Whether he/she needs a PE license from a state and depends on the listed exemptions to engineering practice as listed by that state's laws.
Ask the NM PE Board in Santa Fe.
