Average Engineer Salary – USA

As most of you are going to USA to pursue masters and earn a fortune as an engineer, ever wondered what an average engineer salary is? Though money is not everything, it is still good to know the average engineer salary for your course or branch as it forms one of the motivating factors to work hard and reach the level.

The average engineer salary varies from branch to branch and more importantly from state to state in the United states of America. Though engineering is not the top most professions, it is still one among the top and the “average engineer salary” is a pretty good figure. Since we cannot discuss engineering salary variation with state, let us analyze the salaries of engineers of the most common majors.

Average Electrical Engineering salary

Electrical engineering, a core engineering field can fetch you a job only if you have strong foundation. A bachelor degree in electrical engineering can fetch you a job that offers salaries in the range of 50000$ to 75000$ while a masters degree salary range is 60000 to 85000 US dollars. Great! Isn’t it?

Average Computer Engineering salary – Software Engineering

I need not say what a software engineer does. The average entry level salary for a sotware engineer, be it BS or MS in computer science engineering ranges from 60000 to 90000 US dollars. One more good thing is, the growth is exceptional compared to other engineering fields. Negative side would be too much competition. The number of software engineers in on a rise and hence the competition and also the job security is comparatively less in most of the companies

Average Mechanical Engineering salary

The average engineer salary for a mechanical engineer doesn’t actually fall in a big range. It is usually 60000 to 65000 dollars. However, the growth is very good and one can reach the mark of lakh dollars within 6 years.

Average Civil engineering salary

The civil engineers, who are basically into construction and other maintainance activities have starting salaries in the range of 45000 to 55000 dollars. However, the figure reaches 60000 in an year.

Average Structure engineering salary

Structure engineering is similar to civil engineering and the salaries also fall under the same line.

This is the average engineer salary in USA for fresh graduates. However, one has to consider the fact that the salary varies with state. The average engineer salary in big cities like New York is usually high compared to the smaller states.

TVU students will get chance to relocate: SM Krishna.

The US has assured India that innocent students of the fake Tri Valley University would get an opportunity to "re-adjust" their status or transfer to other US universities, government said today and expressed confidence that all such students would be relocated.

External affairs minister SM Krishna told Parliament that India had asked the US government that students who are themselves victims of fraud, should be given adequate time and opportunity to transfer to other universities.

"While we recognise the right of every government to investigate and prosecute fraud, we have asked the US government that students who are themselves victims of fraud, should be given adequate time and opportunity to transfer to other universities or adjust their status and if they desire, return to India honourably," he said in a suo motu statement in both houses of Parliament.

"Government of India will leave no stone unturned to see that their education prospects do not get adversely affected. I am hopeful our students will be relocated," he told Rajya Sabha while responding to concerns expressed by
members over the fate of the 1,500 students.

He said since the semester exams in US were in progress, it would take some time for relocation of the affected Indian students.

On the GPS devices being tagged to some Indian students by the US agencies, Krishna said it was done as part of investigations.

He said the US authorities have begun progressively removing the radio tags as he mentioned that he himself had spoken to US secretary of state Hillary Clinton about it.

Foreign secretary Nirupama Rao and Indian ambassador to US Meera Shankar are also in touch with US officials.

India expects the US to take steps to prevent such universities from exploiting foreign students, he said, adding the government would also advise Indian students to exercise due diligence while applying to foreign universities.

STORY OF A TRI VALLEY STUDENT

I just completed my third semester from a so called local engineering college located In a small town in Andhra Pradesh. Now, the time has come to decide my career path. I had 3 options in my mind

- Get a job in Infosys, tcs or wipro – me being a below average student find this to be rather impossible..

- Pursue MS in US – this seems to be the most feasible as there are tons of universities spread across all the states in US and pursuing studies abroad sounds great!

- The worst case- assist my dad in running his kirana store (general store) – I really dint want to do this as it hurts my ego – after all I am going to be engineering graduate

As expected, I attended few off campus drives and failed in the first rounds! Have written GRE and managed to get about 1000 that is good enough for me! My desire to get a job still remained and I arrived at Ameerpet, Hyderabad. Thanks to the recession, I could not get a single job and my skills added to the situation! Now, I have decided to go with my second choice – ms in us. I approached this consultancy – ABS consultancy and paid few thousands to them to suggest me few universities. They gave a list of them and the great Tri valley is one of them. I also got in touch with a guy studying there and he told me that the university is a free zone and provides visa extensions in an easy way! The consultancy also suggested that it is one of the best universities suitable for my profile- wow! What luck!

I told my decision to my dad and he, being just an owner of a general store, arranged funds for fulfilling his loving son’s dream to pursue masters abroad. I know how hard he worked to arrange for the funds and how long it took for him to save this amount and how long it is going to take him to earn back that amount! As I could not get any scholarships or waivers, I had to utilize this money and I was ready to fly after getting an i20 from Tri Valley. I felt proud that I received an I-20 from an American university. I still remember the day I took my flight to USA- I am using all the money my dad has saved till date for something that saves my ego? What a life! Anyways, I will work hard and get a good job in USA and make my dad happy!

After reaching USA, I am so excited, enthusiastic, ablazed and a bit worried too. I resided with the guy whom I met online and he was friendly enough. Days passed by and I noticed few changes in me- started counting money in terms of dollars and weight in terms of pounds. My university is not accredited, I am not sure what course I am doing and I am working in a company as the university granted me CPT- I initially thought I was lucky to get into Tri Valley as I got the CPT so soon! Still, there was always a fear in me that the government will bang me some day or the other.

The black day of my life has come as I imagined: A hard knock on my door and there they were a group of officers who took us to a building and started questioning us. I am just blank and I am not able to understand what’s happening around me. I laughed at the US government and now I am here crying in a place, which is located 1000’s of kilometers away from my loved ones! A GPS system was attached to my leg to make sure that I do no move out! Am I a terrorist who arrived here to destroy the life in USA?

True that the university fooled us and the government of USA but I tell you, it is our mistake too! We know that it is illegal to get a CPT before one year and we are already working under that name. We know that the university is not accredited. We know that we are cheating the USA government. We just understood that things like these work only in India and not in USA. Tri Valley university scam ruined my life and I contributed to that!

- I should have checked for accreditation before deciding my university

- I should have followed all the rules and not accepted the CPT

- I should not have chosen such a third graded university

- I should not have come to USA just for the sake of being here

My sincere advise to my fellow students- please do not come here just for the sake of your status or working here – get good scores and join reputed schools and do check with it a 1000 times before finalizing it – beware of consultancies

Assisting my dad in our General stores seems like heaven to me compared to roaming around this area like a prisoner with a GPS lock stuck to my leg! I am sorry dad- I wasted all our money- I thought of earning a fortune here and clear all our debts and I left you – just tears!

2G SPECTRUM SCAM...

There will be severals Q's arising when we see this and mainly are:-

What is 2G speectrum???
2G or second generation wireless telephone technology is a digital network for transmission of voice(calls) and data(sms, internet,etc)
Wireless means that the voice and data are transmitted through electromagnetic radiations.
The 2G spectrum is a band of frequencies, much like a "rainbow" which is a spectrum of light.

DoT(Department of Telecomm) has to ensure the following:-
The government earns revenue from the sale of the spectrum to different cell phone companies.
The spectrum allocation process is equitable,optimum and transparent.
Adequate spectrum is made available.



How the scam has done???
Here the story begins....
A.Raja becomes the UPA telecomm minister(May 2007).
2007 September:-
SWAN Comm, Unitech, Loop and DATACOMM apply for 2G allotments.
(2007 October):-
A.Raja rules out 2G spectrum auction opening ignoring the TRAI's recommendations on the distribution.

2008 January:-
 Pan-India fee for spectrum allocations fixed at Rs. 1,658 crore.

2008 April:-
Dot, under A.Raja's charge, circumvents TRAI recommendations to allow for sale of stakes in companies.
These changes in the guideliness would result in huge losses to the Dot and ultimately the INDIAN PUBLIC.



What has happened???
2007 September-October:-
SWAN Telecom sells 45 % of its shares to Etisalat (a UAE company) for aprox Rs. 4,200 crore.SWAN brought it's spectrum licence for a mere Rs. 1,537 crore.
Unitech wireless sold 60% of its shares to telenor(a Norwegian company) for Rs. 6,200 crore. Unitech bought the spectrum licence for a mere Rs. 1,661 crore.
Tata Teleservices sells 26% of its shares to DoCoMo(a Japanese company) for Rs. 13,230 crore.


The total value of stakes later resale in th enine companies that had 2G licences amounted to Rs. 70,022 crore.
For the same licence , the DoT had recieved only Rs. 10,772 crore.
By allowing the resale of stakes, DoT lost more than Rs. 60,000 crore.

Corporations involved:-
Unitech Group.
Swan Telecom.
Loop Mobile.
Videocon Telecommunications Limited.
S Tel.
Reliance Communications.
Sistema Shyam Mobile (MTS) – Sistema Mobile Russia.
Tata Communications.
Vodafone Essar.


Media persons and Lobbyists involved:-

Barkha Dutt, an NDTV journalist alleged to have lobbied for A. Raja's appointment as minister

Vir Sanghvi, a Hindustan Times editor alleged to have edited articles to reduce blame in the Nira Radia tapes.
 
 
PETITIONERS:-
 
Subramaniam Swamy, activist lawyer and politician.
 
Paranjoy Guha Thakurta, a journalist who was one among the very first to write on the irregularities in the awarding of 2G spectrum allocation by the Telecom Ministry.
 
Prashant Bhushan, on behalf of the Centre for Public Interest Litigation.
