I've got an ABET accredited Computer Engineering degree from a US school. The only thing it got me in interviews was questions about why not CS.

I did not follow the path to become a licensed Professional Engineer, because a) there was no apparent benefit, b) to my knowledge, none of my colleauges were PEs and I don't know how I would get the necessary work certification.

Maybe there's corners of software where it's useful to become licensed, but not mine.
