I any case, I think the fella wants to do research, in which case, if he happens to need a PE it will be mere coincidence. Even for M.E., you don't need a license to do research; I'm fairly certain that only a couple of the professors at my school have professional licenses; they all do research.

Things change though. It's not what he's asking for, but it's sound advice - being accredited will give more options down the road.
I just finished my first year of university. I'm doing Industrial/Systems Engineering because I decided I didn't like EE, CE, or CS (all separate majors I believe) very much, even though that's initially what I wanted to do. A lot of people still think I am a CE student, even my family tells people I am because they too are confused. I just fix computers in my spare time, which has nothing to do with what I want to do for a living.
