The Ph.D. in Business requires a major; will it be a marketing major?
accounting? finance?  The starting salaries in academe vary by
discipline.  In general, I think you would find that the average
9-month (academic year) salary in most disciplines start at about
$40,000.  I don't think the BS and MS in Engineering are too important
in determining the salary for teaching in most Business Schools.

I'm not knowledgeable about the pay in Engineering, nor the working
conditions, etc., so I can't comment on that part of your post.
