And on the other side of the argument, the Association of Professional Engineers sent out its own release saying, quote, it "stands firmly against any act of plagiarism, misrepresentation, or unauthorized use of professional engineering work.
Such actions are a direct violation of professional ethics, intellectual property rights, and the principles of integrity upon which the engineering profession is built. Belizean engineers, like their counterparts worldwide, dedicate their expertise, time, and creativity to developing solutions that serve communities and advance national development. To misappropriate or copy such work undermines not only the individual engineer, but the integrity of the profession as a whole."
