Engineering Jobs in Sunderland
Engineering is a very broad subject. Engineering is neither science nor technology - it is the application of science to create products, be it a kettle or a bridge. Therefore the qualifications vary greatly depending on the job you want to go for.
There are many different degree courses but all Chartered Engineers (CEng), the top professional grade, must reach the academic standards set by the Engineering Council. An Incorporate Engineer (IEng) can reach professional standard by completing a higher national diploma after A-levels or after a national diploma.
There are also degree courses that meet the academic standards for IEng status and the entry requirements are lower than those for a Chartered Engineer. A Modern Apprenticeship is a good way to become an Engineering Technic ian.
What job could I do?
Chartered engineer - this is a creative role responsible for developing new ideas and designs and brining about change
Incorporated engineer - this role is more concerned with the use and support of today's technology. An Incorporated Engineer needs a detailed understanding of their field of technology so they can use their expertise for judgment and management
Engineering technician - this is a support role to the Incorporated Engineer. Engineering Technicians use well-established techniques and procedures to solve practical problems.
Pros and Cons?

Cons

Earning potential?
Engineering graduates earn 20 per cent above the average salary six months after graduation. In 2000 the average earnings for Chartered Engineers were nearly £45,000 comparing very favourably with other key professional earnings.
Incorporated engineers can expect to earn £20,000 at 25 rising to around £33,000 by the age of 40. Engineers who have HNC/HND qualifications can expect to earn around £22,000 at 25 rising to about £40,000 by the age of 40.
