Engineering Graduates Command Highest Salaries
According to NACE's Summer 2009 Salary Survey,. engineering majors claim four of the five college majors that get the highest starting salary offers. Like any field, the actual salary depends, in part, on the industry. For example, the average starting salary offers by engineering discipline are:
• Petroleum engineering = $83,121
• Chemical engineering = $64,902
• Mining engineering = $64,404
• Computer engineering = $61,738
• Computer science = $61,407
Salaries are driven up by a surplus of jobs for new graduates in these fields, even in today’s tight economy, says NACE officials. And, while the salary is high, the actual number of jobs available is not particularly exceptional, so it’s still a competitive field.
