  1. Careers By: Hunter Williams, Qua Sterling

  2. Aerospace Engineering • Definition: Branch of engineering behind the design, construction and science of aircraft and spacecraft. Broken into two major branches: aeronautical and astronautical engineering. • Required training: Beginning aerospace engineers need at least a bachelor's degree in engineering. Degree holders in mathematics or the natural sciences may qualify for certain jobs. It usually takes four or five years to earn a bachelor's degree in engineering. • Salary: Median—$79,100 per year

  3. Biomedical Engineering • Definition: application of engineering principles and techniques to problems in medicine and biology, as the design and production of artificial limbs and organs. • Required training: A bachelor's degree is the first step for engineers because most careers in the field require the degree as an entry level requirement. Biomedical engineers often combine formal training in mechanical and electronics engineering with focused biomedical training to operate confidently in the field. • Salary: $79,610 Those working in medical equipment and supplies manufacturing saw slightly higher salaries, at $81,950 while those working in scientific research and development earned $92,870 • http://www.collegegrad.com/careers/proft09.shtml

  4. Chemical and Bimolecular engineering • Definition: Chemical engineering is the study and practice of transforming substances at large scales for the tangible improvement of the human condition. • Required training: Chemical Engineering are required to take the General Test of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). • Salary: Median—$76,770 per year • http://careers.stateuniversity.com/pages/393/Chemical-Engineer.html

  5. Civil Engineering • Definition: An engineer trained in the design and construction of public works, such as bridges or dams, and other large facilities • Salary:ranges from $83,000 to $107,000 • Required training: Bachelor's degree plus training; license • http://www.calmis.ca.gov/file/occguide/engcivil.htm, http://careers.stateuniversity.com/pages/287/Civil-Engineer.html

  6. Computer Engineering • Definition:Performs computer functional allocations, development of code, software development, hardware development, and reliability, maintainability, and availability. • Salary: ranges from $92,000 to 104,000 • Required training: Bachelor's - Computer Engineering Technology

  7. Electrical Engineering • Definition:The branch of engineering that deals with the technology of electricity, especially the design and application of circuitry and equipment for power generation and distribution, machine control, and communications. • Required training: Bachelor's - Electronics Engineering Technology • Salary: median to $88,000

  8. Environmental engineer • Definition: The technology concerned with the reduction of pollution, contamination, and deterioration of the surroundings in which humans live. • Required training: College • Salary: Median—$66,480 per year • http://careers.stateuniversity.com/pages/52/Environmental-Engineer.htm l

  9. Industrial and systems engineering • Definition: A branch of engineering concerned with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, and equipment. Also known as management engineering. • Required training: Bachelor of Science Degree (5 year) • Salary: Co-op: $17.22 $8.00 - $31.00 • BS: $53,000 $37,500 - $57,000 • MS: $60,500 $53,000 - $68,000 • http://www.rit.edu/emcs/oce/student/stu_alum_pdfs/CareerOverviews/IndSysEngCO.pdf

  10. Material sciences and engineering • Definition: A multidisciplinary field concerned with the generation and application of knowledge relating to the composition, structure, and processing of materials to their properties and uses. • Required training: college • Salary: $54,323$59,838$63,232

  11. Mechanical engineering • Definition: The branch of engineering that encompasses the generation and application of heat and mechanical power and the design, production, and use of machines and tools. • Required training: A bachelor of science in mechanical engineering (BSME) or a related engineering degree is the minimum requirement for most entry-level positions. Some employers prefer a master's degree; others hire only those who have at least two years' experience. • Salary: $2,800-$3,300 monthly range.

  12. Nuclear engineering • Definition: Nuclear engineering majors study radioactive materials and radiation and learn how to use them in areas such as power, nuclear medicine, and industry. • Required training: Bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree • Salary: $66,613$74,205$82,266 • http://careers.stateuniversity.com/pages/411/Nuclear-Engineer.html
