PE in Industrial Engineering

I am an industrial engineer and would like to obtain my PE in industrial engineering. However, I don't see how it will benefit me other than that it can distinguish me from engineers that don't have a PE. I guess my question is "What can an industrial engineer do with a PE?". I only see civil, structural, mechanical and electrical engineers that have the need to stamp drawings that are produced for public service.

Chez,
I agree that a PE may not be of any additional help in getting jobs.
I know a friend here who has BSIE, MBA and is a PE.
He also feels the same way.
But it is ultimately one of personal interest.

PE in IE is a waste of time instead do six sigma black belt from ASQ

Hi,

I have never seen a job that requires an Industrial PE. I once checked the roster of registered PEs in my state and only seven of them were IEs, and one of those was a former professor. It would be of little benefit, I believe, unless you go into academics.

You guys have jobs in IE? I have no idea those exist anymore. I graduated w/ IE in 2008, and saw nothing since then. I've worked in software, Amazon.com managing, and then marketing for a software company. How did you / do you find IE jobs?

@ Tom. Are you kidding me??? Who do you think fills these jobs: Production Engineer, Production Planner, Process Improvement Analyst, Operations Research Analyst, Operations Manager, Modeling and Simulation Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, Project Management, Quality Management, Facility Management, Health and Safety Engineer, etc.

re: PE in IE. Waste of time. Focus on the sub-sector (e.g., Quality, M&S, Supply Chain, etc.) you work within and get a certification that is meaningful in that area.
