ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER
Educational requirements
Entry requires a B.S. degree in engineering – probably civil, chemical,
mechanical or environmental. And, while you are still comfortable with the
school life, you should take another year or so to get a Masters degree in en-
vironmental engineering (more and more employers are giving preference to
those who have a Masters degree). Ph.D will provide additional advantages
in your subsequent career.
You must do your best in the math, science and engineering courses that
comprise any engineering degree. Equally important, you need to focus on
the humanities as it is necessary that you understand how people and socie-
ties function. You also need to work on developing your writing and speak-
ing skills. Environmental engineers must be able to communicate effectively
with people of all types if they are to succeed in solving problems.
Average Earnings
Starting salaries range from $36-$42,000 with some as much as
$48,000; with a Masters degree, $40-$45,000; and with a Ph.D.,$42-$50,000.
A licensed engineer (it takes a minimum of four years of post B.S. degree ex-
perience to qualify) with five years experience can expect to earn $50-
$60,000.
SAFETY ENGINEER
Educational requirements
You generally need a bachelor's degree in science or engineering to be-
come a safety engineer. It usually takes a minimum of four years to get this
formal training. Some employers prefer to hire graduates with special degrees
in safety management or occupational safety and health. Others look for peo-
ple who have a master's degree or some work experience in a related field.
Undergraduate courses should include behavioral, medical, and social sci-
ences. Many companies provide additional training for their employees.
In some cases engineers need to be licensed by the state in which they
work. They generally need a degree from an approved engineering college,
about four years of work experience as an engineer, and a passing grade on a
state examination before being licensed as professional engineers.
Average Earnings
Salaries vary depending on the safety engineer's experience and educa-
tion as well as the location and the kind of job. In 2009 the median annual in-
come of safety engineers was of $83,000. Benefits include paid holidays and
vacations, health insurance, and pension plans.
