Izax1, why are you assuming all engineers NEED a graduate degree? The undergraduate degree is almost all that's needed for landing your first engineering job out of college, and then it's the experience that's gained from that point on that matters most. If a masters degree in engineering helps...

2D is a long long way from being dead. It all comes down to economics. 3D cad work is slower and more expensive to produce. And it isn't entirely necessary for many industries. So why would companies spend more money on 3D drawings when 2D drawings are quicker and easier to produce? However...

That link to engineering jobs in Scotland only lists 7 of them at the time that I wrote this. However, there are well over 300 accounting/finance/sales jobs listed instead. Clearly Scotland is not the place to go if you're looking for more traditional engineering work. Not a problem if you're an...

Atlengpe, I'd love to know where you get your 30% growth rates from. The BLS growth rates in question are through 2018. However, the US population is only set to increase by about 10% per decade. So, I'm not sure where you'd get 30% projected growth rate for metro areas...

Thanks Moltenmetal, that was probably one of the best responses on here so far. In lieu of Atlengpe's postings, apparently we all need to start adapting to and planning for future engineering careers, rather than waiting around for our old silver platter jobs to come back that have forever gone...

Atlengpe, you sound like an advertisement for an environmental engineering degree program. I'm not sure where you get the idea that a civil engineering degree is worthless. Most 'engineering' degrees are in fact far more valuable than nearly every other program offered at most universities (with...

Just curious, but do people feel like the job outlook for engineers is improving with the larger economy? We've technically been in a recovery for a while now, but the engineering jobs being advertised seem few and far between, if there are any at all. Am I missing something, or is this a...

1 - Southwest, Civil/Telecom 2 - Approx. 2 deliverables per week. Very inconsistent though. Some weeks 4, some weeks 0. 3. 2008 & 2009 were exceptionally busy years. My company had never been busier and we were lucky to bypass most of the bad economy. Q1 of 2010 was quite busy as well. 4...

The current BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook is claiming a 24% growth rate for the civil engineering industry through 2018 (http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm). Apart from biomedical engineering, they are predicting that civil engineering will have nearly the highest growth rate of nearly all...
