PROFESSIONALS

Have you ever thought about who created fuel-efficient hybrid cars, developed instant messaging and computer games, or designed durable lightweight materials? Engineers are responsible for almost all of today's technologies, from cell phones, digital cameras and DVDs to facial-recognition equipment, tiny in-body drug dispensing devices and spine-tingling amusement park rides.

Engineers are well-paid professionals, on par with business managers and lawyers. Engineering graduates with bachelor's degrees have starting salaries of about $48,000, depending on their disciplines. Master's and doctoral graduates' salaries are even higher.

The analytical skills learned in engineering can prepare you for numerous professions. Some engineers become top managers, government officials, business owners, journalists, teachers, health professionals or lawyers.
