<p>I need to know the average salary for electrical and chemical engineering for these schools. I already know the numbers for Purdue.</p>

<p>Purdue Chemical engineering - $51,832 Electrical Engineering - $54,442

<p>UIUC Electrical Engineering - $54,700 (range of $30,000 to $75,000)</p>

<p>I'm not too fond of "average" after taking statistics. If there are extremes... but usually it would be around $50,000+</p>

4

<p>average starting salary for Cornell Engineering is $55,000</p>

5

<p>How about a BME from JHU?</p>

<p>hey, im attending cornell next year as class of 2009 in engineering physics... i just read your post saying the starting average salary for engineer from cornell is 55k. I like this, and was wondering where you found such information?</p>

7

<p>from cornell. i visited and took a tour of the engineering sector. the alumnus that was there told me.</p>

<p>55K for starting salary...that's a little high for cornell engineering. I believe it's 49.4K for class of 2003 (according to this report <a href="http://www.career.cornell.edu/downloads/PostGradSurveys/Postgrad%2003.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.career.cornell.edu/downloads/PostGradSurveys/Postgrad%2003.pdf&lt;/a&gt;)
I think ECE and CS majors get 55K average salary.</p>

9

<p>I think after 3 years of experience average salary rising to 6 figs.</p>

<p>VT Boy -- As the wife of an Electrical Engineer with 25+ years experience, I wouldn't count on six figures after three years. I wouldn't even count on six figures after 25 years. With some job changes, your salary will go up a little faster. But in general, you can count on, at the most, a 5% pay raise each year.</p>

<p>I agree with Peg. You guys have to realize if you want to make 6 figure salary quickly, DON'T BE AN ENGINEER. If you just want to make lots of money, go to med school, law school or business school.</p>

12

<p>its really a ****ty way to make money.</p>

13

<p>what about like the headquaters of an engineering industry?</p>

14

<p>Ya, we work hard to become engineers but the reality is most of us do not make much money :(</p>

15

<p>Engineer = $0.00 :(
Engineer + MBA = $$$ :D</p>

16

<p>thomas is correct :P
an engineer makes about 60-70k a year after a while
but with an MBA from an elite school, easily in the 200k range</p>

<p>Just wondering
How much $ is one making with a M.S. in engineering?</p>

<p>LMAO! @ thomas.</p>

<p>My friends who recently graduated from Stanford with their MS in EE got offers around 75k to 85k, and the highest ones were 95k and 105k.</p>
