Masters vs PE
Masters vs PE
(OP)
I was curious what the opinion of the forum is on this subject. Do you think that obtaining your PE license is looked at more highly than obtaining your Masters degree in civil engineering?
If you candidates were interviewed and one had their PE and the other didn't but had their masters who would you hire?
Thanks!

If you were able to get good summer job experience which led to real employment, that's a great reason not to do a Master's and employers look on it very favourably.

Second most important is experience and productivity.
Third is PE
Fourth is Masters
None of these things are mutually exclusive.

For Geotechnical Engineers, a Masters pretty much required. The BS degree just does not have enough classwork.
