Careers
Design. Develop. Invent. Engineering jobs present the opportunity to daily use your problem-solving skills and knowledge of math and science to solve problems, design products and develop solutions.
Engineers are in demand. The following are just a few of the engineering fields our graduates typically specialize in:
- Biomedical engineering
- Aerospace engineering
- Agricultural engineering
- Chemical engineering
- Civil engineering
- Computer engineering
- Electrical engineering
- Mechanical engineering
- Textiles engineering
A bachelor’s degree is required of almost all entry-level engineering jobs, and a master’s degree is necessary for career advancement in some instances. However, it is not uncommon for engineers trained in one branch of engineering to transfer to another branch of engineering without returning to school; the broad foundation of solid math, physics and basic sciences provided in an engineering undergraduate degree program translates well to engineering jobs across the spectrum.
Engineering employers in North Carolina include but are not limited to:
- United Technologies Corporation
- The State of North Carolina
- Cisco Systems Incorporated
- Army National Guard
- Cree, Inc.
- Volvo
