Career Path Forecast
According
to the U.S. Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
employment of materials engineers is projected to grow 2 percent from 2019 to 2029, slower than the average for all occupations. About half of all materials engineers work in manufacturing industries, including many that are expected to have slow growth or declines in employment.
Modest employment increases are projected for these engineers in professional, scientific, and technical services.
Some growth should result from increased use of composite and other
nontraditional materials developed through biotechnology and
nanotechnology research.
