Engineering careers are rewarding and lucrative — one in which you can use your mind to find creative solutions to the challenges facing our society.

An engineering education will "exercise" your brain, developing your ability to think logically and solve problems. These are skills that will be valuable throughout your life — not only when you're solving engineering problems.

While financial security should not be your only reason for choosing a career in engineering, if you decide to become an engineer you will be well paid. Engineering graduates receive the highest starting salary of any discipline.

Engineering is by its very nature a creative profession. When practicing engineers develop solutions to open-ended, real-world problems, they must employ conscious and subconscious mental processing as well as divergent and convergent thinking.

Careers in engineering span the alphabet. From aerospace to manufacturing to transportation engineering, no other career field offers young men and women such a wide choice of options.
