Lamar University's College of Engineering has earned high-rankings from the Department of Education's College Scorecard for producing graduates who are soaring in their early career earnings. Mechanical, chemical and biomolecular engineering and industrial technology graduates have ranked first in earnings after four years, outperforming every public university in Texas, and chemical engineering ranked fourth amongst all universities in the United States.

"We are producing graduates that are career ready through academic preparation and through our relationships with the local industry," said Dean of The College of Engineering, Dr. Brian Craig. "Through industry focused curriculum, plentiful internships and industry partnerships, our graduates enter their careers prepared to add value from day one, making them highly sought after candidates."

The success of Lamar University's engineering graduates highlights the institution's commitment to providing a world-class education that prepares students for rewarding and financially rewarding careers. The college ensures that faculty have the tools they need to educate students, and puts emphasis on exposing students to the equipment they will be using in the field. LU has recently added the Flowserve Educational Resource Center and the Emerson Advanced Technology Center which provides students with the technology they will use throughout their careers.

As the institution continues to nurture future engineers, it remains steadfast in its commitment to producing career-ready graduates who not only thrive in their chosen fields but also contribute significantly to the economic growth of their communities.
