ADVANCED STUDY
(OPTIONAL, BUT SOMETIMES
REQUIRED FOR HARDWARE
ENGINEERS)
While graduates may find an entry-level software engineering job
with a bachelor’s degree, better-paying positions and software
management jobs typically call for a master’s degree. Hardware
engineers usually return to college for post-graduate work. Those
who want to rise to leadership or management roles pursue
masters of business administration (MBA) degrees with a
technology focus. Pay increases are often pegged to ongoing
education, and engineers are inquisitive enough to want to stay
abreast of technological advances. In many cases, your employer
may contribute to ongoing education fees. A doctorate can be an
advantageous degree for engineers who want to teach at the
university level or conduct advanced research at a university-
sponsored laboratory. Engineers with a PhD in information
technology can advance to management workplace roles such as IT
strategist, chief technology officer or chief information officer.
