@cfscollege He would most likely get something like $30,000 from Case.
FWIW, my dh and oldest ds are both chemEs. They both have fantastic careers and their careers have not been controlled by their UG schools. My ds attended a small state tech U, graduated in the middle of the recession (2011), and had a greater starting salary than the avg top school grads today. He had a strong resume (he co-oped for 12 months, did UG research, and graduated with honors}. Now, 7 yrs later, he has had multiple promotions and is beyond yrs of experience-level expectations.
If want to slog through a long thread discussing various chemE Us, here is this one: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/2095644-college-rankings-money-wise-p1.html
Our kids have very small college budgets. Our current college grad (majored in physics and math) attended UAlabama for UG on full scholarship. He actually lived very frugally and spent his summers doing UG research and REUs, so he graduated from college with $$ in the bank. ) Bama did not hold him back at all. He is doing exactly what he dreamed of back in high school.
If your ds is at all interested in Bama and UG research, I would recommend applying to the RRS program. RRS is a select group of 40 students who are provided special research mentoring. RRS, formerly known as CBH, and the chemE dept have a strong relationship and have produced a Goldwater scholar almost every yr. (Here are articles on the past 4 yrs of winners.)
