SUPPLY AND DEMAND OF ENGINEERS

A statistical survey of engineering majors is presented to understand potential disconnects between the supply and demand of engineering graduates.On the supply side, the primary metric is the annual number of engineering graduates by major from United States Universities.On the demand side, the presented data includes the government projections of current and future engineering positions, recent job postings on employment websites, and frequency of engineering terms in digitized books.The data indicates that supply and demand of engineers is currently well matched, but also suggests strong dynamics related to the emergence and decline of specific engineering majors.
