1 Engineering Overview A Statistical Profile of the Engineering Profession

2 Statistical Overview How many people study engineering? What are the most common majors? What kind of job market is there for engineers? How much do engineers earn? How many women and minorities study engineering?

3 College Enrollment Trends of Engineering Students 1950s-1960s: 60,000-80,000 engineering students 1970s marked the lowest number of students, at 43,000 Engineering peaked in 1980s, with around 118,000 students

4 College Majors of Recent Engineering Students Of approximately 350,000 full-time undergrad engineering students, just less than 1/3 (124,000) were majoring in computer and electrical engineering Just over 32,000 were “undecided”

5 Degrees in Engineering Steady decline in Engineering degrees awarded between 1986 and Since then, there have been many fluctuations, but as of data of 2000, there were 63,300 engineering degrees awarded For a long time, electrical awarded the highest number of degrees, but that was eventually replaced by mechanical engineering

6 Job Placement Trends was the hottest year for engineering majors to find jobs As the number of engineering students declines, employers must “fight” harder to get whatever students they can get their hands on to fill vacant positions. This has led to a very promising job placement ratio

7 Salaries of Engineers On the whole, engineers make more money than any other graduate with another degree Electrical, computer, and computer science recently have led the way, with average salaries from a Bachelor degree starting at around $52,000 A Ph.D. in computer science will earn a starting average of around $84,000

8 Diversity in the Profession For a long time, white males dominated engineering Recently, women, foreign nationals, and various minority students have entered colleges and universities with an engineering diploma in mind

9 Distribution of Engineers by Field of Study Electrical engineering employs the highest number of engineers, nearly 25%, numbering close to 375,000 Mechanical employs almost 250,000 Civil is the next highest “populated”, with 200,000 workers

10 Words of Advice from Employers Looking for graduates who possess: Excellent communication skills Teamwork Leadership Computer/Technical proficiency Hard working attitude

11 What Problems Must YOUR Generation Face Future Challenges

12 Expanding World Population , world population climbs from 1.6 billion to 6 billion people Places new stress on conservation of resources, and gives engineers new challenges to compensate for high population

13 Pollution Engineers concerned with management and the control of pollution, especially: Air pollution Water pollution and the depletion of freshwater resources Management of solid waste

14 Energy It is predicted that energy usage in the Developing Countries will more than double in the next 30 years Engineers must find new ways to generate power in an effort to conserve natural resources (fossil fuels)

15 Infrastructure With mass transportation an ever- present problem, engineers will be responsible in the future for designing and maintaining a system by which the transportation of raw materials, as well as the human capital that process them, can easily and efficiently move from place to place

16 The ‘Worldly’ Engineer Global and International Engineering GSMST

17 Introduction After WWII, engineering became a more “global” business. Taking a few foreign language classes in school cannot hurt, but only help your chances at getting a job after college.

18 The Evolving Global Market: Changing World Maps & Alliances Breakup of former USSR China and other Asian countries in rapid development stages New laws, regulations, policies have affected the spread of international engineering

19 NAFTA 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (US, Mexico, Canada) Designed to reduce tariffs, and increase international competition Manufacturing trade has increased by 128% between Canada, US, and Mexico since 1994

20 International Opportunities For Engineers Engineers are employed internationally in: Automobile Industry Manufacturing Construction Pharmaceuticals Food Industry Petroleum and Chemical Industry Computer and Electronics Industry Telecommunications

21 Preparing for a Global Career Students who look to work internationally should: Be language and culturally proficient Should participate in study abroad programs Look into international work experience and Co-Op opportunities
