Software PE Exam – Sample Questions and Solutions

After several years of planning, consensus building, research and development and many hundreds of hours of work by dedicated volunteer engineers, the path for licensure of software engineers in the United States is now a reality. The last step in the path, the Principles & Practice of Software Engineering Examination (also known as the "Software PE Exam"), was recently completed and will be offered in at least 10 states in April 2013. To help prospective examinees to prepare, the IEEE-USA Software Engineering PE Exam Development Committee has created this study guide, which includes the test specification, 40 representative questions with solutions and a suggested reference list. All code used in the questions are in a generic, pseudo-language, and the description of this language is also included in the book.
