Engineers apply the principles of science and mathematics to develop practical solutions to technical problems. In addition to design and development, many engineers work in testing, production, or maintenance. Engineers can advance into engineering management or into lucrative consultative sales positions that require technical expertise.

Here's what the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says about prospects for engineers:

1. Overall job opportunities in engineering are good.

2. A bachelor's degree in engineering is required for most entry-level jobs.

3. Starting salaries are significantly higher than those of college graduates in other fields.

4. Continuing education is critical for engineers to enhance their value to employers as technology evolves.
