<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

So a bit of background first. I'm a recent (may 2012) grad with a BS in chemical engineering from a decent program. Based on an NACE salary calculator analysis ([found here] a chemical engineer with my qualifications would have a starting salary between 63k and 77k.

With that in mind, I just got an offer of 50k with full benefits. The position is one as a quality engineer at a fairly small company. The position itself involves elements of quality control, process engineering, and some chemistry work.

Basically,  I'm curious as to whether I should try to negotiate considering I don't have any experience in industry (I worked a research position at my school instead of doing an internship). It just seems like 50k is kind of a lowball offer for a chemical engineer. Any and all input is greatly appreciated.
<bot>: Lesson learned is that it doesn't hurt to ask as long as you go about it the right way. See crimson 117's [link] for advice on that.
