• The job market for electrical engineering and engineering technology graduates could not have been better. According to the National Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 1.35 million people held engineering jobs in 1992. BLS expects the employment will continue to expand through the year 2005. Electrical Engineers with 300,000 jobs followed by mechanical engineers with more than 200,000 jobs and civil engineers with close to 200,000 jobs.
• The hottest fields today in science and engineering are electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, and mechanical engineering. Two studies conducted by Michigan State University and National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) have shown that the hiring of college graduates has been upswing since 1993 and average starting salaries are up too. The average starting salaries of electrical engineering and mechanical engineering graduates rank among the top 5 averaging about $39,852 and $38,811, respectively. The demand for engineering technologist follows that for engineers, although their salaries are lower by about $5,000.
