all speciffied industrial field needs speciffic experiences and the fees applyed over the fund amount invested in the field as percentage 2 up to 5 percent represent very consederable amount if you imagen the the cost of the project.in speciffice field can not eaven dicuse the applyed fees for the knew how. khaled

I have seen entry level positions start at as much as 30,000 and salaries only go up from there.  I have some students who are starting at companies for $60K or $70K.  Really depends on the kind of Engineering you are going into and how much experience you have coming out of your college program.  Definitely do internships!!!

There are not nearly as many jobs for mining engineers as for electrical or some other types of engineering in the US, but the US does have a lot of mining companies.  They pay well and they have good benefits.  You can often get subsidized housing for you and your family too.

The number of electrical engineer jobs are plentiful depending on location.  From 2001-2004, there was a decrease in job availabilities for everyone.  Engineering companies were one of the hardest hit because of the dot-com bust.  \n\nPower engineering - also called power systems engineering, mostly handle designing and building power plants and power distribution.  Engineering consulting firms that build power generation plants hire power engineers.  Also designing power wiring for buildings.  EEs in this field are required to have their professional engineering liscense to be able to sign off before to be able approved to build anything by the state.  Power plants also hire power engineers to handle logistics and power distribution.\n\nElectronics engineer - designing and test electronics\n\nOptics engineer - designing and test IR, laser, radar, etc.\n\nRobotics - self explanatory\n\nBioengineering - a new branch of EE, designing and test medical devices.  I.e. artificial heart, lasers used for surgeries, different types of meters\n\nThe new rage: quantum dots, nanotechnology and biotech engineering\n\nPros: \n1 - It is a lot of fun and interesting.  \n2 - I get to tinker and explore something different everyday.\n3 - The pay is excellent.  Starting pay in my area varies from 57K-65K for BS in EE, 62K-75K for MS with less than 2 years experience.\n4 - The benefits are great.  Companies value their engineers a lot.  They will do anything to keep you from leaving, including giving 6 digit bonuses and days off.  \n\nCons:\n1 - Very stressful field.  When trying to meet a deadline, it is not uncommon to work 12-16 hours a day without overtime. (I even worked 28+ hours straight once)\n2 - Getting that degree took a lot of hard work and sacrifices.\n3 - Encounter useless arrogant MIT PhD graduate blowhards\n4 - Encounter sexist angry 70 year old engineers - one calls me "Hey you, girl, whatever your name is, come here!"

Industrial Engineering is closely related to mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering.  Actually all engineers must study at least the fundamentals of all engineering fields in order to cooperate with other specialized engineers.  The Industrial Engineer specializes in setting up and efficiently running industrial plants that may include electrical, mechanical and chemical components and other.  One specialty of the Industrial Engineer is to study time management which includes the organization and flow of materials and products through the plant and the efficiency of workers who may need more or better tools to avoid rejects.

unless you are going into med school or getting your PhD, you'll end up as a lab engineering making little money while the biotech sales people make 6/7 figure incomne.  the industry itself is booming and slowly converging with the electronic industry.  good understanding of electricity/computers may help you in the long run...

It depends they are between 50k and 120k.\n\nBut my uncle is a civil engineer he have his own business and he makes around 17 millions in a year.He have 12 engineers working for him.He have a master degree in structural engineering.I'm studying electrical engineering.GOOD LUCK!!!

Many sales jobs pay real good.

For a lot of them, they trade stocks or perform other finance related tasks that have almost nothing to do with their education. These firms sometimes just like to hire smart people who are good at math and science.... engineers.

There are so many fields.\n\nTechnology is constantly evolving and in demand, so electrical engineering; computer engineering, etc\n\nCities are growing and infrastructure must be expanded, so fields like civil engineering would be in demand.\n\nYou know, really, just about any kind of engineer will have relatively decent job security.

Right now the engineering degree will pay more.

Your earning potential is as great as your drive.  The harder and smarter you work, the more you make.

structural!!!\nit all depends on what you want\nstarting out chemical and bioengr make the most money.\nmechanical is good if you want to later get a law degree and be a patent lawyer.\nsoftware is also nice pay but most companies are very harsh to their programmers.\nStructural gives you rewards of a job well done by seeing a lasting landmark for decades to come.
