Unless what is used is a scanned image of the actual signature, in which
case it would be considered an accurate depiction.  I agree, however,
that you should check with the Board of Professional Engineers for
Minnesota about their acceptance. For more info on legal acceptance of
electronic signatures see:

Hello All,

I'm fairly new to this list so if you have already discussed this and
there is something about this topic in any archives please point me in
the right direction.

I am the Records Manager for an engineering and architectural firm in
St. Paul, MN. In a meeting recently a few department heads were
discussing electronic signatures and legal issues. Has anyone had any
experience using electronic signatures? In our case we would be using
electronic signatures on record plan drawings. Thanks in advance for any
information.
