Guys - don't know if it's important or not to know, but the http://beta.slashdot.org/ servers were dishing out NO RESPONSE after two attempts. Hope it helps - Happy_Guru
Bottom Line - What have you got to lose by taking the EI?
Of course the PE really stands out when you're doing any kinda of 'For the Public' type of work...if you're looking to stick to Microprocessors, computers, etc. Probably won't help - but guess what IT WONT HURT!?
I'll tell you a story that an older PE told me while I was visiting his design firm...he said, "You see all these engineers out here in the 'bullpen' = openspace office....they're engineers; you see all those nice offices with closed doors, those are PE's".
The cost are cheap for students - take it now so that you don't forget all the junk and have to study it later! - wish I had!
