Engineering (Associate in Science)
So, you want to be an engineer? Math and Science are your things and you have an overwhelming desire to make a difference in the world? There are so many various types of engineering. Many disciplines are in high demand and have excellent growth potential.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment growth for engineers, with nearly 140,000 new jobs expected in engineering over the 2016–26 decade. And in 2016, engineers had a median annual wage of $91,010—more than twice the median wage for all workers. Some of the largest growth is seen in civil, mechanical and industrial engineering, although various degrees of growth and potential is occurring in all engineering disciplines. Many areas of engineering are also considered green occupations-demanding new and updated skills for today's green economy.
