Certification is worth doing

On: Ask Slashdot: Is Professional Engineering Certification Necessary?

Working towards your PE is the professional thing
to do for a BSE in training who wants a career
in engineering.

Advanced degrees would supercede it in a job
search though - and anyone hiring an engineer would be more interested in successful projects
than a PE. It is NOT equivalent to passing the
bar for a lawyer or being medically certified for
a doctor. It at most conveys a little confidence to your employer.
