Add the global demand for energy and you
have a scenario in which petroleum
engineering majors should continue to be
in-demand and well-compensated for years
to come.

STINGY OP

1. PETROLEUM ENGINEERINGMedian
starting salary: $97,900Mid-career average:
$155,000
The survey numbers suggest that petroleum
engineering can be by far the best paying major
available today. According to the Society of
Petroleum Engineers, a large number of workers in
the industry are expected to retire during the next
ten years. Add the global demand for energy and
you have a scenario in which petroleum engineering
majors should continue to be in-demand and well-
compensated for years to come.
2. CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
Median starting salary: $64,5000
Mid-career average: $109,000
According to the American Institute of Chemical
Engineers, professionals in this field are at the
forefront of research in fields including energy,
biomedicine, food production and electronics.
3 .ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Median starting salary: $61,300
Mid-career average: $103,000
PayScale reports that while salaries for electrical
engineers remain high, competition for jobs is
expected to be stiff. While job experience is
important, having a degree in electrical engineering
can be key to filling positions created by retiring
employees
4.MATERIAL SCIENCE ENGINEERING
Median starting salary: $60,400
Mid-career average: $103,000
As one of the lesser known engineering disciplines,
materials science studies, manipulates and improves
on materials used in the biotechnology, energy and
communications industries. Emerging fields such as
nanotechnology also play a role in materials science
and engineering.
5. AEROSPACE ENGINEERING
Median starting salary: $60,700
Mid-career average: $102,000
From self-guided machines to helicopters to
spacecraft, aerospace engineers are involved in the
design and creation of any vehicle that travels
above the Earth’s surface. The technical skills
learned by those with aerospace engineering degrees
place graduates in the top five highest-earning
majors, PayScale reports.
6. COMPUTER ENGINEERING
Median starting salary: $61,800
Mid-career average: $101,000
In a relatively new field, qualified computer
engineering graduates are few and far between.
“We are desperate to find skilled employees, but
simply cannot do so,” says Sander Daniels, co-
founder of web start-up Thumbtack.com. With
multiple companies vying for relatively few candidates,
median starting salaries for computer engineering
graduates are high. Sanders said, ‘‘I see supply
slowly catching up to demand over the coming
years–but at least today, there aren’t enough
computer engineers for all the available jobs.”
7. PHYSICS
Median starting salary: $49,800
Mid-career average: $101,000
Today, these professionals work in the fields of
chemistry, oceanography, seismology and astronomy.
Physics is the only major on the list with a median
starting salary below $50,000, but by mid-career,
the average rises to more than double that amount.
8.APPLIED MATHEMATICS
Median starting salary: $52,600
Mid-career average: $98,600
According to the Society for Industrial and
Applied Mathematics, employers across a number of
industries hire mathematicians and computational
scientists. Jobs can be found in the energy, finance,
science, health care and publishing sectors among
others.
9.COMPUTER SCIENCEMedian starting
salary: $56,600Mid-career average: $97,900
In a society that is increasingly dependent on
computer technology, computer science graduates can
expect to see lucrative starting salaries. Make no
mistake, these professionals do more than simply
provide tech support and program games. For
instance, computer science researchers at Cornell
University work in fields such as robotics, artificial
intelligence, computer architecture and security.
10. NUCLEAR ENGINEERING
Median starting salary:$65,100
Mid-career average:$97,800
Rounding out the top ten on the PayScale list is
nuclear engineering. James Madison, President of
CoolHandNuke.com, a job site for nuclear
professionals, says several factors help boost the
incomes of nuclear engineers. These include the high
caliber of nuclear engineering graduates, the sensitive
nature of their work and a decreasing number of
individuals entering the field.
In addition, Madison predicts an upswing in the
need for nuclear engineers that could mean better
salaries in the future. ”‘Over the course of the
next 10 plus years, these engineers with start being
paid very, very well,” he said. “And the benefits
packages are already the best of any industry.”

Top 20 Best Universities in the World

As The Washington Post points out, it’s a
little odd for U.S. News to have Princeton at
the top of their national universities list, but
only ranked 13 for global universities. For
their new ranking, U.S. News emphasized
research prowess and global reputation,
while omitting factors such as
undergraduate admissions data and
graduation rates that play a part in
determining their national lists.
“This is about faculty productivity and
prestige … It is meaningful for certain things
and not necessarily meaningful for other
things. We get that. This is about big
muscular research universities doing what
research universities claim is their mission,”
U.S. News Editor Brian Kelly told The
Washington Post.
Here are the top 2o universities in the world,
according to U.S. News & World Report:
1. Harvard University
2. Massachusetts Institute of Technology
3. University of California, Berkeley
4. Stanford University... VIEW DETAILS... http://www.schoolnewsportal.com
