it depends on your industry. i think EE is still slightly higher than ME on average. i'm not sure about ChE
Top PETE undergrads can get $100k+ salary and $15-20k signing bonus.
Top ChE is usually in the $90k.
Only reason I rank ME ahead of EE is because there is a wider range of jobs ME can do in South LA.

Nothing to laugh at. Its just tied to the highest paying industry in the nation.

they are different disciplines. they both have a massive range of jobs, this is not restrictive to south LA.

this was not the case when i entered LSU though. at that time, EE was where the money was.

Wish it was still that way, but it seems we have less of us with exeperience in my area and there is a lot of them. That may help me extremely in the next few weeks.
I think there is still a small pocket of us in the tech industry that makes ungodly money for companies like Google/Intel/Apple to retain them from getting poached. Some of the dollar figures there blew my mind for engineers.

IBM's recent partnership with our Engineering College is great too

LSU's College of Engineering is committed to double its computer science faculty and triple the number of computer science graduates in five years, which will place the LSU Computer Science program in the top 10-15 nationally for the number of B.S. degrees in computer science awarded annually. The College will also expand its computer science programs and curriculum innovation as LSU students will benefit from internship opportunities and more jobs upon graduation, keeping the best and brightest in the state.

A little, we know all our managers are safe and we don't really even have a full staff at the current level we are suppose to be at, so I don't think EEs will get hard or even at all. I have a lot of service time in comparison to a lot of people around me, so that is good. MEs are very heavy, could get bad for them.

A&M has the top ranked PETE department in the country (well, it's a toss up between them and UT)
Colorado School of Mines may be top in the country.
ETA: In the eyes of industry at least. aTm a close second.

Why? "Center of Engineering & Business Administration" made sense when the Business College was located inside. It's not the case anymore
Posted on 2/11/14 at 2:05 pm to Dam Guide
thtas good to hear. I'm not really worried at all. We are well below our headcount already too. In fact, i think we may take on a few of the people who are to be moved around.

I'm a traditionalist, i guess.

Having an actual well facility to learn at is a huge advantage for LSU's PETE department compared to other schools too.
What do they do? Teach you how to work the satellite TV in the company man trailer?

but computer science lags behind ULL
Still not used to seeing it associated with Engineering. LSU's CSC program pretty much sucks though.
That said according to this list LSU is higher than ULL
LINK
LSU #99
ULL didnt make list.
Most people in the industry have no clue about ULL's program no matter what they tell you about how good they were in the early 90s. After they redirected a lot of their funding their program has been falling steadily. (Im sure they find a way to blame LSU though)
Bottom line unless you go to an Ivy League School, MIT,Stanford,Carnegie Mellon or Texas or one of the Cal schools and maybe Michigan nobody really cares where you went in CSC. They treat everyone else based on their accomplishments alone. You would get laughed at out of the building if you tried to claim that your CSC degree from ULL had more meaning.

just a little bias
By saying LSU Pete is top 10 out of twenty schools?

Actually get to circulate a gas kick. Not really something someone with a PETE degree will ever do, but cool nontheless.
