Engineers are problem solvers. Imagine being thrust into the forefront of a resurgent U.S. manufacturing industry as you prepare to answer the environmental, health and societal challenges facing traditional manufacturers. Or perhaps you are more driven to perform cutting-edge research in connectivity and mobility, accelerating understanding in areas such as connected health; public safety; the environment; traffic management; computing infrastructure; and food, energy and water distribution. These projects and many more within our 50 degree and certificate programs are evidence of the Wayne State University College of Engineering's commitment to improving quality of life.

Our goal is to prepare students for exceptional technical careers as leaders and entrepreneurs. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the average starting salary projections for engineering graduates has grown to $71,516 for the Class of 2021. Even as an undergraduate student, it's never too early to start thinking about your career prospects.

But how can Wayne State help you reach your goals?
