How does your university rank? Take a look the top 20 engineering schools by starting and mid-career salaries.
As part of Engineering Week, we're presenting the 2020 report from PayScale shows which schools are turning out the highest paid grads with a bachelor’s or graduate degree. Two years ago we posted the results of PayScale’s study that only included grads with bachelor’s degrees. The difference in the lists is surprising.
PayScale defines engineering schools as those public or private institutions that grant more than 50 percent of their undergraduate degrees in math, sciences, computer science, engineering, or engineering technology majors. The degrees from the top engineering schools usually lead to high-paying jobs, even right after college.
PayScale obtained the data for this study be surveying graduates from each of the schools.
Check out the list and let us know how you feel about the balance of education costs to engineering career compensation in the comments field below.
