Should software engineers take the upcomming PE exam for software engineering?
I realize that this question is quite similar to [this one][1], but news of a PE exam being developed specifically for software engineering by the [NCEES][2] and [IEEE][3] has piqued my interest.

Should software engineering professionals take the (upcomming) PE exam for software engineering in addition to their degree (or relavent work experience)?

**Edit**:
I realize the exam being developed is still sometime away, but I'm curious about the thoughts of the professionals active on stackoverflow.
