What is the employment outlook for ETM graduates?
According to the 2005 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook, “Engineering managers held about 233,000 jobs in 2004. About 27 percent worked in professional, scientific, and technical services industries, primarily for firms providing architectural, engineering, and related services; computer systems design and related services; and scientific research and development services. Other large employers include government agencies and telecommunications and utilities companies. Projected employment growth for engineering managers should be closely related to the growth of the occupations they supervise and of the industries in which they are found. For example, opportunities for managers should be better in rapidly growing areas of engineering such as environmental and biomedical engineering than in more slowly growing areas, such as nuclear and aerospace engineering.
