<p>Hi, I'm currently going to complete by B.S. in Electrical Engineering at a decent state school in New York (SUNY - Binghamton University). I might be able to complete a Masters of Engineering in 1 year, after my BSEE. Masters of Engineering is geared towards engineers who want to go to industry, therefore does not involve research/thesis. </p>
<p>I plan on getting an MBA eventually, regardless if I get the MEng in EE. Would it be more lucrative/worth it if I got this Masters? My goal is to get a job in industry for a few years, then apply for an MBA to get into management.</p>
<p>I'm predicting two internships before I graduate with my BS, a 3.2-3.4 overall GPA (EE/CS GPA will be highier), many leadership positions throughout college, etc...</p>
<p>Its a pretty good idea, couple of thoughts:
No offense, but you shouldn't count on 2 internships, they are really selective and often require really good timing to get (many require 3.5 for an interview). I would shoot for one internship at a company that you could definitely see yourself working at after graduation. A good internship will probably help you into a good job better than an MEng would, especially considering the extra year work experience you get.
I have the same plan, but I am doing an MS in biomed engineering, and an MS in biomed is significantly more marketable than a BS in biomed (unlike EE).</p>
<p>Also remember, when you apply for b-school, you need to be able to explain how an MBA will specifically help you in industry.</p>
<p>Hi, well I've already had one internship and I'll be interview for others soon. I don't see that as a problem, really. I think I'm smart enough to pull through another set of interviews (not to sound cocky, just confident).</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply, it's good to know you're doing the same.</p>
