Searching for that I found that the Software Engineering exam for PEs was introduced in 2013. I doubt that any states require it yet, if they do it's probably a provisional thing (way too many people that should qualify that won't because they haven't taken the exam yet, that's time and money to get certified, be stupid to require it after only 1 year of availability).

EDIT: Exam information (pdf):

Then let me clarify. Software Engineering PE / SE was before the certification (as you state) known primarily as Eletrical Engineers with Computer Science concentrations. My university only offered a CSE specific degree in the last 10 years (I believe, anyway).
