According to a salary survey by the American Society of Civil Engineers, civil engineering salaries rose slightly, from 77,000 to 78,000, over the past year. The median income for all fields of engineering combined is $85,000, a 7.6 percent increase from 2007. Nearly 15,000 engineers across the country in a variety of fields responded to the survey.
Licensed professional engineers earned higher than average salaries, with a median of $92,100, and those with a professional engineer’s license and a second professional registration earned the highest salaries, with a median income of $106,675. Engineers without professional licensing or certification earn significantly less, with a median annual income of $86,000.
Engineers in California, Hawaii and Nevada are among the highest compensated, earning a median income of $94,900, while engineers in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho are among the lowest compensated, earning a median income of $73,000.
