ENGINEER as FEC occupation text: $24.3M

A licensed-trade word that software also uses

PE-stamped civil engineers and FAANG software engineers share the letters ENGINEER. The $24.3M total is that mixed word. People who typed a firm, DEVELOPER, or a tech employer name are in other rows.

NAICS 5413 is not applied. LobbyVault does not recode this title into that sector or into NAICS 5112.

1,886 donors and 61,635 lines

1,886 donors produced 61,635 ENGINEER contribution lines totaling $24.3M. Unique-donor count is close to WRITER. Dollars are smaller than the MICROSOFT firm-name row, which captures staff who typed the company instead of the title.

Party share is not on this industry headline. Engineering-society PACs are committees, not this individual-label rollup.

DEVELOPER, ARCHITECT, and tech employers

DEVELOPER remains ambiguous (property versus code). ARCHITECT is a sibling mixed title. MICROSOFT and GOOGLE are employer names that siphon people who might otherwise appear here. None of those dollars sit inside $24.3M.

Occupation pages show ENGINEER as occupation with a corporate employer — harvest may send the line to the corporation. PE stamps, EIT certificates, and software-engineer job ladders are not FEC fields. The $24.3M total is 1,886 donors and 61,635 lines tagged ENGINEER. A locomotive engineer and a chip designer share the bucket. Employer text on the donor table is the only disambiguation this dataset offers.

Donor table

The ENGINEER donor table lists disclosed names and amounts. A large gift is a public contribution. It is not evidence about a bridge, a chip, or a locomotive. LobbyVault does not infer which engineering discipline the donor practices.

Read the employer field on the line before writing a construction or software story. MICROSOFT and GOOGLE already captured staff who typed those brands. Those people are not in the 1,886. DEVELOPER and ARCHITECT captured others who typed those titles. Adding all four invents an engineering recode; say so if you do it.

FEC.gov via LobbyVault: $24.3M, 61,635 contributions, 1,886 donors, top employer ENGINEER. Unitemized and non-federal activity are omitted.

Follow recipient committees from the table. Public-works and defense-plant stories need project files. This page lists political gifts. Recipient committees appear on the donor table. Project names do not. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault for the $24.3M string.

Disciplines the occupation word does not encode

Civil, mechanical, electrical, software, and railroad engineers share ENGINEER. The $24.3M total, 61,635 contribution lines, and 1,886 donors mix them. MICROSOFT, GOOGLE, DEVELOPER, ARCHITECT, and PE-firm names pull related people into other rows. Unitemized gifts, state races, and society PACs are omitted. LobbyVault does not apply NAICS 5413 or 5112.

Occupation pages show ENGINEER as occupation with a corporate employer — harvest may send the line to the corporation. Open the ENGINEER donor table and read employer text before assigning a construction or software story. The title is self-reported FEC text, not a NAICS industry, from FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Occupation pages recover ENGINEER as occupation with a corporate employer. Harvest may still prefer the corporation as the industry key. Search both views before claiming an engineer is absent from federal itemized data. Discipline is the missing field. The $24.3M ENGINEER total is 1,886 donors and 61,635 lines that mix civil, mechanical, electrical, software, and railroad uses of the same word. MICROSOFT and GOOGLE already captured staff who typed those brands. DEVELOPER and ARCHITECT captured others who typed those titles. PE stamps live at state boards, not here. Public-works files live at agencies, not here. Occupation pages recover ENGINEER as occupation with a corporate employer when harvest preferred the corporation. Unitemized gifts, state races, and society PACs are omitted. Cite $24.3M as the ENGINEER string from FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not NAICS 5413 or 5112. PE wallet cards and LinkedIn headlines are not FEC fields. ENGINEER here is $24.3M, 1,886 donors, 61,635 lines. A city civil engineer and a chip designer collide in the same key. Brand employers (MICROSOFT, GOOGLE) already took staff who named the firm. DEVELOPER and ARCHITECT took others who named those titles. Public-works ledgers answer project questions. This table answers disclosed gifts. Occupation pages recover mixed employer-plus-ENGINEER lines. FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not NAICS 5413.

Questions

How much have ENGINEER donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $24.3M to the ENGINEER FEC string, from 61,635 contributions and 1,886 donors. MICROSOFT, GOOGLE, DEVELOPER, and firm names are separate. The label is not a NAICS engineering-services total. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Are these software engineers or civil engineers?

The FEC string does not say. Both groups type ENGINEER. The $24.3M total is the mixed word. Check employer text on each receipt to classify a person. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Is ENGINEER merged with DEVELOPER?

No. They are different free-text values. ARCHITECT and named tech employers are also separate rows. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. This answer uses only the packet totals for that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov, with no NAICS overlay applied.

How many unique engineer donors are listed?

The rollup counts 1,886 donors and 61,635 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not a PE-license census. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
