6 Hot Jobs for Engineering Graduate Degrees

A graduate degree is not required for most engineering positions, but it is advantageous – especially for individuals interested in conducting research at a company or working as a college professor.

Getting either a master's degree or doctorate in engineering can lead to higher salaries, specialized skill development and career advancement.

"While undergraduate degrees provide a general overview of the field with some opportunities to dig a little bit deeper, a master's program really allows them to go one step further," says Doreen Edwards, dean of the Kate Gleason College of Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology in New York. "Students will get more information and learn more skills related to a specific topic, and take their analytical and critical thinking skills to the next level."

There are two options for degrees: a master's of engineering and a master's of science in engineering. Curriculum varies by graduate program , but a master's of science typically revolves around research, while a master's of engineering focuses more on projects and developing workforce-relevant skills.

"There's a lot of overlap so it depends on the individual and what their career aspirations are," says Kristina Ropella, dean of the Opus College of Engineering at Marquette University in Wisconsin.

Engineering graduates – whether they have a master's degree or only an undergraduate degree – are in high demand.

Among all engineers, the average job growth rate projected between 2021 and 2031 is 5%, with the median salary in 2021 being $99,040, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That is in line with the average national job growth rate, but more than double the median annual salary of all U.S. occupations, which is $45,760.

Here are six engineering career paths that demonstrate faster than average job growth rates and offer high-paying salaries. While a graduate degree isn't always required for these jobs, having one would likely give you a leg up.

Hot Jobs for Engineering Graduates

Software developer, computer and information research scientist, industrial engineer, chemical engineer, bioengineer and biomedical engineer, petroleum engineer.

Given the popularity of technology and artificial intelligence, software developers are needed in nearly every sector, experts say.

In 2021, there were more than 1.6 million jobs for software developers and software quality assurance analysts and testers. That number is projected to increase by 25% from 2021 to 2031, according to the BLS.

Software developers design and create software to meet users' needs, while software quality assurance analysts and testers implement tests to identify software issues. Not only are these jobs expected to grow, but they're also high-paying. The median annual wage for software developers and quality assurance analysts and testers was $109,020 in 2021, BLS reported.

The heavy reliance on technology and the internet has also led to growth in related jobs, including computer and information research scientists. Employment in this area is expected to grow 21% over the next decade, with 40,600 jobs predicted in 2031, according to the BLS.

Computer and information research scientists develop solutions and models to address computing problems, with many working for the federal government. The median annual salary in 2021 was $131,490, about $34,000 higher than the median for all computer occupations, BLS reported.

"Engineering salaries are high in general, but computer science is significantly higher," says James A. Smith, associate dean for graduate education and professor of civil engineering at the University of Virginia . "A lot of the tech companies are laying off employees right now. It'll be interesting to see if that has an influence in the next couple of years."

Many employers require at least a master's degree in computer science or a related field, like computer engineering, but some favor candidates with a doctoral degree.

Consumers and companies alike recently have been struggling with supply chain issues. Industrial engineers – who aim to increase efficiency in workforce processes and eliminate waste of raw materials, money and time in production – are steeped in these challenges. Most work in manufacturing, in areas such as transportation, computer and electronic products and machinery.

Though the median annual wage of industrial engineers , $95,300, is slightly lower than the average among all engineers, BLS predicts that the number of jobs within this sector will rise 10% between 2021 and 2031.

Rather than pursuing industrial engineering as an undergraduate, many start in other disciplines, like electrical or mechanical engineering, experts say.

Chemical engineers play a role in the current transition to renewable energy, which is leading to an uptick in jobs, experts say. The BLS projects employment will grow 14% by 2031, to 30,700 jobs.

Individuals in this discipline use concepts from chemistry, biology, math and physics to solve problems related to the production or use of products, like fuel, food and drugs. The median salary for chemical engineers was $105,550 in 2021, with one of the highest paid areas being petroleum and coal products manufacturing, according to the BLS.

Bioengineers and biomedical engineers design medical equipment and devices – like replacements for body parts and artificial internal organs – and train clinicians and others how to use the equipment.

The median salary for bioengineers and biomedical engineers was slightly lower than than the average among all engineers, $97,410, with the highest paying industry being navigational, measuring, electromedical and control instruments manufacturing, according to BLS data. But the job growth rate is projected to be 10%, with 19,700 positions predicted by 2031.

Petroleum engineers design methods for extracting oil and gas from reservoirs below the Earth's surface or older wells. They work with specialists to learn about the geological formation of the rocks before designing and implementing the drilling plan.

The median annual pay for petroleum engineers – who travel often to drilling and well sites – was $130,850 in 2021, well above the median salary for all engineering disciplines, according to the BLS.

There were 22,800 petroleum engineering jobs in 2021, with 26% of those being in the oil and gas extraction industry. Over the next decade, the discipline is expected to experience above average job growth – 8% – BLS data indicates.
