Majors and Careers
It is no accident that a large portion of the country’s tech industries and the great University of California engineering programs are in the Golden State. They have grown up together and supported each other. Add to that the projections that Riverside and San Bernardino counties will be one of the nation’s fastest-growing areas, and you have an ideal place to study and practice engineering.
California’s Labor and Workforce Development Agency projects that the state will face a shortfall of almost 40,000 engineers by 2014. California will need to educate approximately 20,000 to 24,000 additional engineers to begin meeting the growing engineering needs of both the private and public sectors over the next decade.
