Carroll draftsplans <strong>for</strong> the bridge's three curved welded-plate girder spans, a criticalpart <strong>of</strong> the bridge's design.Months later, Amory enters the bridge design into a nationalorganization's bridge-design competition, and it wins first prize. <strong>The</strong>entry, however, fails to credit Carroll <strong>for</strong> his part in the bridge design.What, if anything, should Carroll do?--adapted from NSPE Case No. 92-1Last Modified:09/29/05 by mm1996 NSPE Code <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ethics</strong> This is the version <strong>of</strong> the code archived in theOEC.
