1) Petroleum Engineering - $83,121
2) Chemical Engineering - $64,902
3) Mining Engineering - $64,404
4) Computer Engineering - $61,738
5) Computer Science - $61,407
6) Electrical Engineering - $60,125
7) Mechanical Engineering - $58,766
8) Industrial Engineering - $58,358
9) Systems Engineering - $57,438
10) Engineering Technology - $56,447
11) Actuarial Science - $56,320
12) Aeronautical Engineering - $56,311
13) Agricultural Engineering - $54,352
14) Biomedical Engineering - $54,158
15) Construction Management - $53,199
Of course, not every student earning an engineering degree is going to receive a large paycheck. However, graduates with a technology degree do have an advantage over many other fields.
