Earnings
Earnings for engineers vary significantly by specialty, industry, and education. Even so, as a group, engineers earn some of the highest average starting salaries among those holding bachelor's degrees.

Manufacturing engineers work wherever products are manufactured -- in industry, government, research, service, and consulting. Manufacturing activities contribute more than 25% of the U.S. GDP, and according to the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 60% of engineers employed in the United States are involved in manufacturing.

The national average starting salary for new manufacturing engineering graduates ranges from $45,000 to $59,000. According to the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, the average starting salary for a manufacturing engineering graduate (BS) is $44,837.  The group estimates that the average salary of all manufacturing engineers is $57,683.
