<prompt> Human: My brother is in Drexels undergraduate environmental engineering program. Its 5 years long and he is in his 3rd year. His last year is a co-op. He believes he will make a starting salary of 100K or more. He explained that Drexel also pitches this and its true. He will likely have a bit over six figures of debt as he doesnt have any scholarships.I know Drexel is a great school, but I cant help but be cynical. I knew engineering grads from my alma mater TCNJ who graduated and landed salaries of 50-70K higher end for BME, Chem and lower for mech and civil. The co-op adds one year of work experience but I find it hard to believe that a bachelor level environmental engineer with one year of work experience would make six figures. And even though he is paying for the name, I dont know if 45K a year is worth it. Perhaps its because I graduated right in the middle of the recession. Anyone know more about the matter?  <response>: Depends on location, industry and how well he did in school, but 100k entry level salaries are the exception, not the norm.Maybe its different for environmental engineering, but Drexel is nowhere close to being a top engineering school.
