      No. That’s an exam for computer hardware engineering, not software.

      There used to be a software engineering PE exam, but it was discontinued in 2018 due to lack of interest.

      (I regret not taking it when I had the chance.)

      A computer engineer is something else entirely. Basically, they often work with electrical engineers to write low level drivers or something, and rarely do much in user space. Software engineers are the opposite.
