In our most recent survey of program graduates, we found that 100% of our responding graduates since 2013 found full-time employment or started an advanced degree after graduating from WVU Tech. They also reported an average starting salary range of $55,000 - $65,000.

Graduates are able to pursue careers with nationally competitive starting salaries in industry and with government agencies. Computer engineers can work on a wide variety of digital and computer systems. They can be hardware designers developing digital systems for government defense, automotive, manufacturing or utilities applications - or they can work to develop new programs and apps, install and troubleshoot software, maintain and advance computer hardware and software systems or manage databases for companies and government agencies. 

Many of these jobs involve design, fieldwork, maintenance or new project development in hardware and/or software. Companies that have hired our graduates include the FBI, the National Security Agency, the Joint Warfare Analysis Center, Navair, the Naval Surface Weapons Center and Dominion Power. It's a field with a lot of potential.
