“Members of the class of 2007 have every reason to celebrate,” according to the National Association
of Colleges and Employers (NACE).  NACE reports that there is a 17.4% increase in new college hiring
since last January with 80% of employers reporting that “they are planning to raise salary offers to
new bachelor’s degree graduates.”

Engineering and computer science graduates are faring extremely well in the job market. From January 2006
to January 2007 most new grad engineering and computer science offers have been increasing and in some
instances quite a bit.  

Computer Science graduates are seeing their salaries climb once again with a 2 percent increase in the
average starting salary offers which now stand at $51,070. Computer science graduates in software design
and development averaged even higher at $53,989.
 
Civil Engineering average new grad salaries grew by 4.8% to $47,145; Computer Engineering average new
grad salaries increased by 1.9% to $55,936; Electrical/Electronic Engineering starting average salaries
increased by 3.2% to $54,599. 

Mechanical Engineering became the most sought after degree with average salaries jumping a whopping 7.7%
for the year to $54,587. 

Construction Management starting average salaries were fixed at $46,844. 

Because CSUS is in the very high cost of living area of Northern California when compared to the rest of
the country, offers to graduates from the CSUS College of Engineering and Computer Science tend to run on
the high side in the 90% as shown below.

Hi Cici,
 
Just thought I’d drop a line to thank you for all your help and support last spring, and to let you
know about a current job vacancy.  I was working with Apple Computer Care Support for a short while doing
"ipod" phone support were I met a recently graduated CSUS electrical engineering student also working
phone support for over two years.  We were both discouraged that neither of us were getting any call
backs on the applications we submitted, and being that my 80% test score put me in the 4th rank, I
didn’t think I would get any state interviews either.  

I kept sending in the state request forms and then suddenly got called in for two interviews on the same
day.  My current supervisor recognized your handy work, and it must have paid off because both the dept.
of forestry and of education offered me a position.  My supervisor Alan Nakahara graduated from CSUS with
a degree in biomedical engineering back in 93 and knew of you, but mostly recognized your resume style,
and the fact that I had a portfolio  which he said was rare.

I am quite happy with my current situation, and very busy learning the computer science guys stuff like
T-SQL, html, VB, ASP.NET 2.0, CSS...etc.  to do web based applications.  Just don’t tell any of my
computer engineering friends I’ve turned to the soft side.  Anyhow, thanks.
 
I think I read somewhere that only 5% of the companies you submit applications to will actually contact
you back, so give your students a bit of my advice and "keep applying every week".

Anyhow, keep up the good work, some of us need that voice of a second mom at college, otherwise like all
children we tend to "PROCRASTINATE".  Or so I’ve been told anyway.

Cici,

I’m in an ME191 senior project group building an underwater robot (ROV).  Professor Sprott
suggested that we send you a link to our project website:
http://www.seahornet.org .  I’m not sure what opportunities you might
have to publish this link, but we thought you’d like to know about the site.  We’ll probably
be making more and more posts on the site as we complete the basic assembly and begin testing.  After the
ME191 class (and after two of us graduate) we’re planning to take the ROV to an international
competition in Newfoundland, Canada (
http://www.marinetech.org/rov_competition/2007/) where
we will be competing in an ROV challenge against many other universities.
