Career Outlook and Opportunities

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the engineering field is expected to grow a total of 4% between 2014 and 2024, adding about 65,000 new jobs.

The demand for engineers in the U.S. grows every year. The modern engineer must be able to balance technology with the real-world concerns of human resources and social issues. They are critical in fields as diverse as urban planning, product development, robotics and machines that people and industries count on every day.

Example of Career Opportunities:

  • Manufacturing
  • Information Technology
  • Research Foundations
  • Government Agencies
  • Robotics
  • Security
  • Mechanical Design
  • Sustainability
  • Public Utilities

The U.S. military and government are also major employers of engineering graduates as engineering technicians, researcher, computer engineering technician, and project managers.
