In order to safeguard life, health, and property, and to promote the public welfare, the
practice of engineering and land surveying in this state is hereby declared to be subject to
regulation in the public interest, and it hereby is declared necessary that a state board of
registration for professional engineers and land surveyors be established, which in the exercise
of its powers is deemed to be an administrative agency within the purview of chapter 28-32. It is
unlawful for any person to practice, or to offer to practice, professional engineering or land
surveying in this state, as defined in the provisions of this chapter, or to use in connection with
the person's name or otherwise assume, or advertise any title or description tending to convey
the impression that the person is an engineer or land surveyor, unless such person has been
duly registered or exempted under the provisions of this chapter. The right to engage in the
practice of engineering or land surveying is deemed a personal right, based on the qualifications
of the individual as evidenced by the individual's certificate of registration, which is not
transferable.
