Under what condition is an engineer allowed to supervise multidisciplinary design teams?

The correct condition for an engineer to supervise multidisciplinary design teams is that each design segment must be signed and sealed by the responsible leader. This requirement ensures that each component of the project is overseen by a qualified professional who is responsible for the integrity and compliance of that specific design element.

When all design segments are properly signed and sealed, it confirms that each part of the project has been evaluated and meets the necessary professional standards and regulations. This practice upholds the ethical standards of engineering, ensuring accountability and quality in the work produced by the team. Supervision of a multidisciplinary team is critical, and having designated responsible leaders for each segment allows for effective oversight, ensuring that all aspects of the project adhere to the required codes and ethics.

While it may be beneficial for an engineer to have experience in all disciplines involved or for team members to be licensed, these factors do not inherently guarantee the quality or compliance of the design outputs without the necessary authority and accountability established through the signing and sealing process.
