Sorry to be equivocal, but it depends on the type of engineering and the type of company. Most large corporations will pay the entire cost of relocation for professional staff. That includes packing/moving expenses, temporary accomodations, food, etc. Some even offer employees perks like closing costs on houses if purchased within a certain timeframe or help finding a spouse or significant other employment.\n\nMany of these items are negotiable. Don't assume that because it's not offered it isn't available. Ask politely and be willing to offer things in return...showing up for the job on an earlier date, some flexibility in intial salary or raise if you absolutely/positively NEED help with moving expenses.\n\nSmaller companies or lower level positions in a larger company may offer no to only limited help with relocation. Again, this a usually a negotiable point. The only way to find out is to ask. Again, be flexible and try to offer something of "value" to them in return.

In my career field if I am offered a job with a company, I expect a relocation package, which includes moving expenses like a couple of months rent, a Realtor to sell my house and a Realtor to buy a new house, storage fees, travel fees for house hunting, etc.\n\nI am not sure if that is what you are after.\n\nI am a mining engineer.\n\nNearly any Mining Company would offer incentives to attract engineers.  Especially right now.  Lots of jobs and not enough qualified people to fill them.

let's see...\n\nElectrical engineering... obviously the best (I'm one hehe)... the highest average salary of any type of engineer. They analyze circuits and the signals the circuits process. They can branch out into things like power supplying or microcomputers. There's a broad scope of things you can get into... if you like electronics you can use your knowledge to do research and development of fiber optics and telecommunications... if you like power generation you can deal with distribution.\n\nComputer engineers are just more specialized electrical engineers, with a little more background in computer science and how operating systems and processors work.\n\nNuclear engineers specialize in nuclear power and radioactive energy. One of the main cases of study for them is the effects of nuclear radiation on the environment.\n\nAerospace engineers are specialized in design of flying machines like airplanes and what not. They're big on physics and the aerodynamics of flight, as well as jet propulsion and fuel... they also dabble a little in electronics.\n\nBiomedical engineers are half electrical engineer / half biology major. They deal with equipment and contraptions that are effective for the medical industry. It's important that they have a background in medicine and electricity so they can put these together.\n\nMechanical engineers deal with the study of machines, motors, servos... just the manufacturing and usage of all kinds of moving parts in places from factories to cars.\n\nCivil engineers are specialized in the design of buildings and structures. The difference between an architect and a civil engineer is an architect can tell you what he wants to do but a civil engineer tells you what you CAN do. They do a lot of analysis on the stability of structures like bridges and roads and find a lot of work in government projects.\n\nIndustrial engineers are not technically "engineers," but are a cross between management majors and engineers, in  that they are geared towards the business side of manufacturing goods through industry. They have to have knowledge of the processes of manufacturing products as well as the business in the world market.

I wish i had perfect answer...........but I DO know somethings about here......\n1.   The state of Florida has homes for small money.........but u also get smaller pay.  It may be a good choice, because the weather is nice ( no snow )  and if you do not live near the beach....... there are nice towns and homes are not much money.\n2.  Massachusetts is not good, because you pay a lot in taxes and the homes are TOO MUCH money\n3.  Ohio has homes for VERY little money......but there is NO work.\n4.  Do NOT go to a big city like New York, New York,,, because the homes are BIG BIG money and if you live outside the big city........it will be a LOT of traveling for you.\n5.  For some reason, many of the people that I know that have come here have gone to live in Michigan.   I do not know why... maybe it is a good place.\n6. If you choose California... do NOT try to live in Los Angleos or any famous towns or cities...........it is a lot of money to live there.\n7.  I suggest maybe North Carlolina ......... it is warm....  nice homes..........\n8.  The upper top of the US get too much snow.. and I do not suggest living there.\n9..  MOST important.......... if u can get to MonsterJobSearch.com   u can look for jobs NOW...... before you come.......... u can see in each state...... what kind of jobs are out there\n10.  Wish I could help more

well for a civil engineer you probably need to get licensed and i'm not sure how it works if you're from out of the country.  \nwww.salary.com

That depends on what you mean by "good."  I'm a mechanical engineer and have worked 25 years for cities in water and wastewater.  There are also a lot of civil engineers in the field.  Job security and benefits are good, but the pay is only mediocre.  I'll be able to retire comfortably before I'm 50.  Some of my friends got into weapons development right out of school.  They had great salaries when they worked, but were often out of work (especially when the Soviet empire collapsed and nobody was putting money into weapons for a while).  They don't have such good retirement plans as I do, but since 9/11, they're back to good salaries.

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!"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\nIn modern usage, civil engineering is a broad field of engineering that deals with the planning, construction, and maintenance of fixed structures, or public works, as they are related to earth, water, or civilization and their processes. Most civil engineering today deals with roads, structures, water supply, sewer, flood control and traffic. In essence, civil engineering is a profession which makes the world a more habitable place to live.\n\nEngineering has developed from observations of the ways natural and constructed systems react and from the development of empirical equations that provide bases for design. Civil engineering is the broadest of the engineering fields. In fact, engineering was once divided into only two fields--military and civil. Civil engineering is still an umbrella field comprised of many related specialties.\n\nengineering, profession devoted to designing, constructing, and operating the structures, machines, and other devices of industry and everyday life.\n\nCivil engineering includes the planning, designing, construction, and maintenance of structures and altering geography to suit human needs. Some of the numerous subdivisions are transportation (e.g., railroad facilities and highways); hydraulics (e.g., river control, irrigation, swamp draining, water supply, and sewage disposal); and structures (e.g., buildings, bridges, and tunnels).\n\nJob Definition\n    Apply theory and principles of civil engineering in planning, designing, and overseeing construction and maintenance of structures and facilities under the direction of engineering staff or physical scientists.\n\nTasks\n    Calculate dimensions, square footage, profile and component specifications, and material quantities, using calculator or computer.\n    Draft detailed dimensional drawings and design layouts for projects and to ensure conformance to specifications.\n    Analyze proposed site factors and design maps, graphs, tracings, and diagrams to illustrate findings.\n    Read and review project blueprints and structural specifications to determine dimensions of structure or system and material requirements.\n    Prepare reports and document project activities and data.\n    Confer with supervisor to determine project details, such as plan preparation, acceptance testing, and evaluation of field conditions.\n    Inspect project site and evaluate contractor work to detect design malfunctions and ensure conformance to design specifications and applicable codes.\n    Plan and conduct field surveys to locate new sites and analyze details of project sites.\n    Develop plans and estimate costs for installation of systems, utilization of facilities, or construction of structures.\n    Report maintenance problems occurring at project site to supervisor and negotiate changes to resolve system conflicts.\n    Conduct materials test and analysis, using tools and equipment, and applying engineering knowledge.\n    Respond to public suggestions and complaints.\n    Evaluate facility to determine suitability for occupancy and square footage availability. \n\nKnowledge\n    Mathematics - Knowledge of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, statistics, and their applications.\n    Engineering and Technology - Knowledge of the practical application of engineering science and technology. This includes applying principles, techniques, procedures, and equipment to the design and production of various goods and services.\n    Design - Knowledge of design techniques, tools, and principles involved in production of precision technical plans, blueprints, drawings, and models.\n    Computers and Electronics - Knowledge of circuit boards, processors, chips, electronic equipment, and computer hardware and software, including applications and programming.\n    English Language - Knowledge of the structure and content of the English language including the meaning and spelling of words, rules of composition, and grammar.
