Industry Trends
Engineers help shape the future through innovation, invention, and visionary ideas. They realize these ideas by using mechanical tools, software, or electronics, and each is driven by a combination of mathematical, scientific, and technical skills. We enjoy the fruits of engineers’ labors each and every day, from our cars and computers to medical devices and even our food supply.
Jobs within the engineering industry are well paying and in demand. Careers include a host of subspecialties, each with a specific focus that requires specialized knowledge and training. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs in engineering are expected to grow now through 2028 at a rate of 4%—with some subspecialties, such as industrial engineering, growing at a considerably higher rate of 10%*. And because technology evolves in the blink of an eye, we may not even be able to predict the opportunities that will arise in the near future.
Along with the technical know-how required for engineering careers, employers also look for organizational skills, self-motivation, strong interpersonal and communication skills, and attention to detail. Employers seek candidates who are driven and goal oriented, adaptable, and have strong critical thinking skills.
