Engineering Job Outlook

[noimagination]

<p>

Makes sense. The list of job recruiters is really long, so it seems like an ideal undergraduate school, at least compared to the UC system. You know that Berkeley’s employment rate for my major (Materials E) after undergrad is only 28%? And only like 20% go on to grad school. Seems a bit sketchy to go there because you question if you will be employed. But then again, that’s everywhere, just some places more than others.

I wouldn’t read too much from that datapoint. You can potentially get an excellent education and gainful employment from either ISU or UCB. You don’t have enough information to conclude much more than that.</p>

<p>Materials engineering is a very specific field. A more general program such as ChemE could have better prospects. You might find this thread interesting:
