In software at least, professional licensing exams basically petered out because no one required them so no one cared.

- billy99k 1y agoMy guess is that it would impede outsourcing and end up costing companies too much money.
- ghaff 1y agoIn general, licensing is for regulatory reasons (e.g. signing off on drawings). Engineers don't generally do it unless there is some industry requirement to do so (especially in civil engineering). And there mostly isn't in software. I started the engineer-in-training track when I was in the offshore drilling industry but then I left and never went back.
