@Chardo , OSU seems to be doing well in placing Industrial and Systems engineering graduates. You may have already seen this info but here is a link from Engineering Career Services just in case (includes annual report, average salaries, career employment percentages, top employers,etc). Industrial had the highest placement success last year of any of the engineering departments with an 87% placement rate (and 9% seeking employment,2 % going for further education and 2 % with other plans). $60,472 average starting salary. Many industrial and systems engineers also get nice signing bonuses as well. but I didn’t see where they note the average bonus for that., but may have missed it. https://ecs.osu.edu/ Most of the info is under the “statistics” heading. Hope your son hears his status regarding an acceptance to their Integrated Business and Engineering program soon so you will know where you stand with OSU (although great he is already accepted into engineering there) in relation to the opportunities and cost at Georgia Tech.
