M.Eng Jobs vs. MS jobs (BME, etc)

[KylarStern]

I just read gunsharp's thread "M.Eng. Vs. M.S." and I was wondering what level of job do people usually find after completing a M.Eng. or M.S. program?

I am seeking a career in the industrial field rather than the Ph.D path but I am concerned with the quality of job found after completing a graduate degree. I guess I am ultimately wondering which completed program (M.Eng. vs. M.S.) will help me find a higher quality job than the other? Or if both programs yield the same qualifications for quality jobs?

In my field, structural engineering, it makes no difference which degree you have from potential employers eyes. I would imagine that it is similar if not the same across most engineering disciplines.

I'd have to agree with that. In my experience, unless you're working for a company that's heavy on R&D, employers hear "Masters..." and stop listening after that. I think in terms of the curriculum, a M.Eng is much more appropriate for going into industry as well. Even though you may not be "educated to the same level" as someone with a M.Sc., what you lack in technical knowledge, you'll make up for in practical knowledge from management, and teamwork skills you built during your M.Eng.
