sorry bob but you misread what i meant. My brother believed that the work he
did as an engineer for a company were his records and not the company's. I
tried to point out the error. FredG pointed out that photographers and
videographers too can do work for companies in which the copywrite resides
with them unless the company uses a 'work for hire' contract.

you're correct especially if the PE is a  consulting PE, but I believe the
discussion revolves around engineers who are fulltime employees of a company
and not a consultant.
