Online Engineering (General) Degree Programs

Nanotechnology may seem like the stuff of science fiction, but it's what some engineers do for a living. Since 1997, Plunkett Research notes that Federal government funding for nanotechnology has increased by over 800% to $962 million in 2005. With an online engineering degree, you could have a chance to enter this growing field and other engineering-based industries.

The two main branches of engineering include civil engineering and materials engineering, working with everything from metals to polymers. Underneath these branches, engineers can specialize in a number of areas. Aerospace engineers work with aircraft and spacecraft. Biomedical engineers work to find new medicines to help people live healthier lives. Computer engineers design software and hardware. Electrical engineers design electrical systems for homes and other buildings, and mechanical engineers work with machines. Some engineers work in management or as inspectors.

In 2004 there were 1.4 million engineers. Job growth in engineering is expected to continue through 2014, so it's a great time to consider getting an online engineering degree. Salaries for engineers in 2004 ranged from civil engineers at $43,000 to industrial engineers with advanced degrees at $85,000. While no educational program can promise jobs or salaries, today's technology makes it a great time to check out an online engineering degree.
