Editorgirl35 writes to tell us Design News has posted their annual
engineering salary survey. While it does offer encouraging results with
salaries up a bit from last year it also shows that engineers are, on
the average, doing a lot more to earn that paycheck including
supervisory and budgetary functions. From the article:
"Kody Baker, a 28-year-old mechanical engineer agrees, "Yes, we are
doing far more than just designing products," he says. He's a project
manager, manufacturing engineer, product designer, R&D engineer, test
engineer, CAD systems specialist, CAD instructor/mentor, and more,
juggling many roles in his job as a mechanical application engineer at
Honeywell."
