3. Career Outlook for EngineersCareer Outlook for Engineers
About 37 percent of engineering jobs were
found in manufacturing industries.
Another 28 percent were in the professional,
scientific, and technical services sector,
primarily in architectural, engineering, and
related services.
Many engineers also worked in the
construction, telecommunications, and
wholesale trade industries.

4. Career Outlook for EngineersCareer Outlook for Engineers
Engineering offers a rewarding and lucrative
career - one in which you can use your mind to
find creative solutions to the challenges facing
our society.
An engineering degree also opens doors to
other careers. Many engineering graduates
have moved into other professions such as
medicine, law, and business where their
engineering background has been a valuable
asset.

5. Career Outlook for Engineers Career Outlook for Engineers
More than 1.5 million engineers work in the U.S.
today, making engineering the nation's second
largest profession.

• People
• Facility
• Processes
All of the above are needed to produce
products and services
In all businesses there is always a need to
improve the processes and the facilities so the
employees (people) can better perform their job
producing goods and services

16. What type of academic background do I need to get into What type of academic background do I need to get into
engineering school? engineering school?
Because engineers spend much of their time solving problems, a strong
engineering candidate should enrich his/her problem solving know-how
by taking as many math courses as your school offers, including calculus
and trigonometry if available.
Also take laboratory science courseslaboratory science courses such as chemistry and physics.
Most engineering institutions expect you to have good grades in:
- algebra (1.5 - 2 units)
- geometrygeometry (1 - 1.5 units)
- trigonometrytrigonometry (.5 unit)
- sciencescience (1 - 3 units)
- EnglishEnglish (3 - 4 units)
- social studiessocial studies (1 - 2 units)
Because engineers convey ideas graphically and may need to visualize
products or processes in three dimensions, courses in graphicsgraphics,
draftingdrafting, or designdesign are helpful as well.
