Top 15 Engineering Schools by Salary
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was founded in 1861 in the image of European technical universities. The school was created to support US industrialization. MIT focuses on science and technology, with about 60% of its undergraduate students pursuing degrees in the School of Engineering. Tuition and fees: $48,452.(Source: MIT)

Journalists are curious by nature, so we set out to find the top engineering schools, based on how well their grads are paid. The data compilation was provided by Payscale.com.

In addition, we found it interesting that most engineering schools on our list are graduating women engineers in the 10% to 20% range. Of the top engineering schools, only Carnegie Mellon University is graduating 33% women. The average starting salaries of engineering grads at these schools is 25% to 50% higher than the average college salaries across all professions.

Then, in the comments section below, tell us if your school ranked and if the numbers add up.
