Engineering Degrees

The Nuts and Bolts of College and Career Success

Author: Chris Cox

Huge numbers of men and women are applying for coveted seats in the nation's very popular college engineering programs. With a recession gripping the nation by its collective jugular, the smart and savvy know the future looks bright and more secure with solid academic credentials.

And what could be smarter than an advanced degree in Engineering or Engineering Management? Engineering is a career track that carries prestige, high-income potential and above all, greater job security. Our College and Career Resource Guide will take you there.

The National Association of Colleges and Employers says: "As a group, engineering majors have consistently posted increases to their average salary offers and seemingly have been immune to negative economic effects."

In fact, even in a year when many average salaries declined, engineering grads saw average salaries go up...weighing-in at a healthy $59,149. Electrical Engineers enjoyed the biggest gains - up three percent in 2010 - enjoying an average $59,326. Chemical Engineers boasted big gains too - average salaries up - hitting the mid $66,000 mark.

Energy Pays...

CNN reports the top-earning 15 degrees in 2009 were held by engineers. Petroleum grads lead all others - with that expertise hitting an oil gusher high of $83,000. Not only that, but demand for engineers exceeds supply. Last year, engineering degrees made-up only 4% of all college graduates.

Big demand + Limited Supply = High Salaries

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs...

The list is impressive...and diverse. Here's the leading engineering specialties:

*Petroleum *Chemical *Mining *Computer *Electrical *Mechanical *Industrial *Systems *Technology *Actuarial *Aeronautical *Agricultural *Biomedical *Construction

From manufacturing to construction to nanotechnology, engineers affect almost every aspect of our everyday lives. Their imprint (and talent) is felt everywhere. With such an impact, today's top students demand the best in "education"...schools, teachers, programs, and degrees.

College - from Brick and Mortar to Keyboard and Mouse

Schools come in different sizes, places, zip codes, and now laptops everywhere. If you're a "learn-in-the-classroom" type, you'll likely find the brick and mortar option the best way to go. Campus classrooms are alive and well and engineering students are filling the seats.

Not to be outdone is the online option. From desktop, laptop and smartphone, students are leading the online revolution- college by digital device has come of age. From the ease and comfort of home or office, students are taking courses, getting degrees and finding great paying jobs.
