No matter if you’re a global warming advocate or fervent disbeliever, there’s no denying there’s a necessity for the creation of alternative and sustainable sources of energy. Whether those are primary energy sources such as nuclear and fossil energy (coal, oil and natural gas) or renewable sources of wind, hydropower and sun, energy is in constant use and is a vital consideration for manufacturers and consumers alike. Continuing concerns about the depletion of current energy resources has become a necessary catalyst for countries, manufacturers and individuals to search beyond traditional energy sources, and these groups are looking to engineers to solve the big questions about how to generate, store and convert energy.
The call for more engineers was corroborated in a U.S. News and Report article citing a rising demand for individuals who are well versed in the subjects of energy exploration, conservation initiatives and energy production, particularly those who specialize in the areas of biomedical, environmental and civil engineering. On the bright side, all of these concerns regarding the repercussions of depleting energy sources could mean a big financial payoff for individuals working in the field of engineering throughout the world. Those specializing in the areas of environmental, biomedical and civil engineering can expect a median pay range of close to or exceeding $80,000, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Information from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the growing demand for biomedical, civil and environmental engineers is expected to accelerate the development of job growth anywhere from 15-27 percent by the decade ending 2020.
