I have a BSEE (and masters) and I have passed the engineering intern test. I do use my engineering knowledge for my day job and my business card says “engineer”. I would consider getting a PE but I literally know nobody with a PE and I cannot find a good reason to get one other than maybe advertising.

If you ever want to go into power distribution as an EE you'll need to stamp plans and projects and won't be promoted passed a certain point without it. I'd recommend you try to find someone at your work with one (you have to work under a P.E.) and take the test as soon as you can.
