Engineers never get dirty. [/quote]

My daughter is graduating on Saturday (from an ABET accredited program), has a 90k a year job she will start in July, and she is doing maintenance engineering - so will get plenty dirty working alongside the team.  [/quote]

Congrats on the graduation and the job! Did she major in MechE, Industrial or Systems, Operations Engineering or something else? Is this in the HVAC field? Just wondering since my DD is a mechE and it seems like most of the positions in the northeast are in the HVAC field.[/quote]

It is general engineering (a very small school).  She did summer research on the school's water system working alongside her school's plant team the summer before her junior year, so really liked working with the maintenance team.  She used that experience to apply to a shipbuilder for her internship her summer before senior year, and worked in the maintenance engineering division that summer and that is the team that extended her employment offer.
