The Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) is a private university located in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. MSOE is best known for its applications-oriented curriculum, close association with business and industry, and extremely high placement rate (98%). The university has an enrollment of more than 2,500 undergraduate and graduate students as of fall 2007.
For 2008, MSOE was again among U.S. News & World Report's "Best Colleges and Universities" in the country, ranking 10th Best Undergraduate Colleges in the Midwest. Also, MSOE ranked 11th in the Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs category among colleges whose highest degree is a master's, and MSOE's B.S. in Industrial Engineering degree was ranked 4th among Engineering Specialties in the Industrial/Manufacturing category. MSOE is also recognized on the Best Midwestern Colleges listing by Princeton Review.
MSOE's logo was designed by Brooks Stevens, a noted industrial engineer. Stevens created the familiar red and white logo for "The Diamond Jubilee" celebration in 1978.
Academics
The curricula at MSOE are centered around engineering, engineering technology, nursing, computers, business, architectural engineering, and building construction. MSOE's primary focus is on undergraduate education, however, they do offer ten master's programs. In 2007-2008, MSOE had 119 full-time faculty members, 69% of whom held a doctoral degree. Professors teach all courses; teaching assistants are not used. The student to faculty ratio is 12:1. In 1995, MSOE became one of the first U.S. universities to offer a four-year graduation guarantee, though according to The Princeton Review, 35% of freshmen graduate in 4 years.
Academic Programs
MSOE has eight full-time bachelor of science programs in engineering: architectural, biomedical, computer, electrical, industrial, mechanical, software, and, beginning in 2009, biomolecular. A part-time engineering degree is also offered. MSOE's Rader School of Business offers degrees in business, international business, management and management information systems. Additional four-year undergraduate programs are nursing, construction management and technical communication. Two-year transfer programs leading to B.S. degrees are offered in electrical and mechanical engineering technology and management.

Question: Is MSOE (Milwaukee School of Engineering) a good college?What types of grades do you need to get in ACT and GPA?12 months ago
Best AnswerIt is an very good school, their engineering program ranks 9th in the U.S... Not sure what their requirements as far as GPA and ACT are though. |
Question: What is the average rank and act score for a freshmen accepted into MSOE (Milwaukee School of Engineering)?I'm applying for colleges and I'm wondering what the admission standards are for MSOE. Also it would be great if you have any input on the best school for engineering or science in the Wisconsin/Minnesota area.15 months ago
Best AnswerACT middle 50% 23-28. Idk about average ranking(they rarely give you those. the most you can get is probably the % of students in the top 10% of class and so forth) * 30% had h.s. GPA of 3.75 and higher * 21% had h.s. GPA between 3.5 and 3.74 * 18% had h.s. GPA between 3.25 and 3.49 * 20% had h.s. GPA between 3.0 and 3.24 * 10% had h.s. GPA between 2.5 and 2.99 * 1% had h.s. GPA between 2.0 and 2.49 |
Question: Mechanical Engineering, what can I look forward to?I am currently attending MSOE (Milwaukee School of Engineering for Mechanical Engineering. . I am excited to graduate and start as an engineer but I have a few questions. 1.) I want to live somewhere with decent weather and low crime, I have a few ideas of places I would like to live. Does this career give me the flexability to work where I want to live? or am I going to be mainly limited to living where work takes me? 2.) I want to be able to spend time with my family. Is Mechanical Engineering going to consume all of my time after work with meetings/research or is it a job where I can have some time to do things that I want? 3.) what is realistic average pay for a mechanical engineer when they are at the peak of their career? I have read that $55k-60k is average to start ( of course rank and location change that) ( 4.) Is the math still overwhelming or are most equations dealt with on computers/calculators? thanks for your response -Brian28 months ago
Best AnswerBrian, Speaking as a mechanical engineer who's now counting the days to retirement: 1. I used my engineering skills in the municipal water and wastewater field. The pay wasn't the best, but I could always work wherever I wanted (anyplace that has water at least). 2. One drawback of the water/wastewater field is that I have been on call for most of my career. When sewers back up or when people don't have water, they don't want to hear, "I'll get on it first thing Monday morning." I've always had pretty good vacation time, but I've had to make myself available nights and weekends for emergencies. 3. Pay varies widely. In general, you should expect close to $50k to start. I learned to live frugally working my way through college and, since I graduated, have always found my pay to be more than I have time to spend; so I have always considered working conditions much more than pay in considering jobs. 4. From my experience, there is very little math after graduation. The little that you do, however, must be done correctly or lives may be at stake. I usually do important calculations on a computer, on a calculator, and by hand to make sure they're right. Good luck. |
