Salary increase with MEng?
Salary increase with MEng?
(OP)
I will be finishing my Masters in Civil Engineering degree (MEng) with structural emphasis in 6 months through an evening program for professionals. Any idea about what sort of salary increase I should ask my employer for? I currently have 6 years experience doing structural design work for a mid-size private consulting firm. I understand a MS or MEng degree doesn't pay above and beyond the basic BS degree, but it has to be valued at something, right? I'm just curious to see what others have got?

The modern MEng (in the eyes of the institutes) is the rough equivalent to the old BSc; the minimum academic qualification you'll need to start the road to CEng status and company pay now reflects that. As said above, if the company paid for course then you wont be seeing a big (if any) increase unless you're being expected to take on extra responsibilities.
You're next pay jump will more than likely come when you achieve CEng or IEng status.

Higher degree definitely is good, but engineering is more practical things and the majority of knowledge is acquired through practising the actual work
