Overall engineering employment is expected to grow about as fast as the average for all occupations over the 2007-14 period. Engineers have traditionally been concentrated in slow-growing manufacturing industries, in which they will continue to be needed to design, build, test, and improve manufactured products. However, increasing employment of engineers in faster growing service industries should generate most of the employment growth. Overall job opportunities in engineering are expected to be favorable because the number of engineering graduates should be in rough balance with the number of job openings over this period. However, job outlook varies by specialty, as discussed later in this section.

Competitive pressures and advancing technology will force companies to improve and update product designs and to optimize their manufacturing processes. Employers will rely on engineers to further increase productivity as investment in plant and equipment increases to expand output of goods and services. New technologies continue to improve the design process, enabling engineers to produce and analyze various product designs much more rapidly than in the past. Unlike in other fields, however, technological advances are not expected to limit employment opportunities substantially, because they will permit the development of new products and processes.

It is important for engineers, as it is for those working in other technical and scientific occupations, to continue their education throughout their careers because much of their value to their employer depends on their knowledge of the latest technology. Engineers in high-technology areas, such as advanced electronics or information technology, may find that technical knowledge can become outdated rapidly. By keeping current in their field, engineers are able to deliver the best solutions and greatest value to their employers. Engineers who have not kept current in their field may find themselves passed over for promotions or vulnerable to layoffs.

Their are various kinds of engineering specialty some of them are, Aerospace engineers, Agricultural engineers, Biomedical engineers, Chemical engineers, Civil engineers, Computer hardware engineers, Electrical engineers , Electronics engineers, except compute, Environmental engineers, Health and safety engineers, except mining safety engineers and inspectors, Industrial engineers, Marine engineers and naval architects, Materials engineers, Mechanical engineers,Mining and geological engineers, including mining safety engineers, Nuclear engineers, Petroleum engineers and so on.

Globally the growth of engineering specialty opportunities are increasing year after year continously.
