Career Path Forecast
 According
to the U.S. Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
materials engineers are expected to have employment growth of 4 percent
over the projections decade of 2006 - 2016.
This is slower than the average for all occupations.
 Although
employment is expected to decline in many of the manufacturing
industries in which materials engineers are concentrated, growth should
be strong for materials engineers working on nanomaterials and
biomaterials.
As manufacturing firms contract for their materials engineering
needs, employment growth is expected in professional, scientific, and
technical services industries also.
