The Highest Number Of Jobs
There are more high paying jobs for engineering graduates than any other Bachelor's degree. Employment of engineers will grow 50% nationwide and 100% statewide by year 2005.
 
Further Education
Besides preparing you for a job, an engineering degree gives you a good background for several types of further education. Many graduating engineers go on to school either immediately following or after working for a couple of years. Having a bachelor's degree in a certain type of engineering does not mean you have to continue your education in the same major. Some opportunities in higher education are Law School, Medical School, Business School and Graduate school in a technical mayor other than your own.
 
Understanding Technology Makes A Difference
You will understand the myriad technologies that govern so much our lives, and thus not be controlled by them. Engineering is a rewarding career option that will make you feel good about contributing to a healthier, safer and more enjoyable life for your fellow citizens. With an engineering education you can be 10 years designing spacecraft to explore the Milky Way, building nuclear engines to power cities, saving lives through new laser applications or applying computer technology to solving problems in the 21st century.
 
Creating Is Rewarding
Engineering can be rewarding because you are compensated for creating. An engineering education will encourage you to be creative in designing a new product, building machines, electronic circuits, or computer software. An Engineering education together with your innate creative ability can create or design something that never existed. Thus your engineering education will provide you with technical tools to encourage your creativity. Engineering is associated with other creative fields, particularly the fine arts. Art is simply something we create, the result of our creativity. The originators of engineering were craft people, such as flint knappers, whose understanding of different types of materials and its intrinsic properties allowed them to refine nature and create weapons and tools.
 
Job Satisfaction
