Welcome Introductions Agenda Engineering Career Options AWC Engineering Program Requirements Self-Service Student Planning Tools University Transfer Options Important Deadlines & Events

The future looks good! Demand for engineers: 60% higher than for other professions in the US Expected to grow 11% by 2023, requiring almost 250,000 more engineers Benefits being an engineer: Variety of career opportunities Prestige Financial security

The future looks good! Earning Potential Engineers earn one of the highest salaries of any career with a 4 or 5-year degree From the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2015): Compare to $20,800 ($10.00 per hour minimum wage) Occupation Average Salary Electrical Engineer $95,230 Mechanical Engineer $83,590 Biomedical Engineer $86,220 Civil Engineer $82,220 Chemical Engineer $97,360 Aerospace Engineer $107,830 Any other ideas here????

Engineering Disciplines Systems Engineers Work with interdisciplinary design of large-scale complex systems involving people, technology and information Design improved manufacturing and operation systems, reduce cost, improve productivity Electrical Engineers Work with electricity, electromagnetic fields, and light Design products such as cell phones, computers, antennas, televisions, and appliances Design power generation and distribution systems Mechanical Engineers Work with machines and systems that involve the production and use of heat or motion Design cars, heating and air conditioning systems, and manufacturing systems

Engineering Disciplines Civil Engineers Work with physics and materials (soil) Design buildings, roads, bridges, storm water systems Chemical Engineers Work with physics, chemistry and biology Design medicines, fertilizers, semiconductors, food additives (such as flavorings) Aerospace Engineers Work with aerodynamics, propulsion and navigation Design aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, missiles, and rockets Biomedical Engineers Work with the mechanical and chemical properties of the human body Design prosthetic devices and medical diagnostic systems There are many more disciplines!
