Engineering employers look to
Rose-Hulman for their next generation of great
thinkers
Nearly every member of the Rose-Hulman graduating class has a job
waiting for them. If they don't, it's because they're headed to
graduate school (and our entrance rates are outstanding there as
well!). Most graduates have several job offers, as a matter of
fact, so they are able to make a decision that best fits their own
career and life goals.
Our network runs very deep with employers who hire engineers. Here
is a partial list of companies who come to our campus - sometimes
hundreds of miles away - to seek out our students at career fairs.
Oh, and we hold three career fairs each year - once per academic
quarter.

In addition to the help available in our Career Services
Office, you will also get all the career advice you'd like from
your professors and academic advisors. They stay extremely tuned in
to career opportunities so they teach and advise in a relevant way.
You will not learn purely academic material that has no real-world
application.
We also groom our engineering students to be outgoing,
communicative people who can work in groups. That is so important
in engineering careers because you will have to work with all sorts
of people with different backgrounds. Mechanical engineers have to
be able to work with and communicate effectively with civil
engineers who need to understand the language of electrical
engineers and so on. So while the stereotypical image of an
engineer is a quiet, introverted person who would rather work alone
than make eye contact with another human being, a Rose-Hulman
engineer has a firm handshake, is involved in a lot of activities
and loves to work with others to solve problems.
What can you expect to earn? A career in engineering can be
lucrative, it's true, both in take-home pay and job satisfaction
(and the knowledge that you've done something to make the world a
better place). The average starting salary for the 2009 Rose-Hulman
graduating class was $59,464. See averages by major for Rose-Hulman
graduates.
What's so great about a career in
engineering?
