An undergraduate engineering degree costs a lot of money: about $44,072 for a state school, $144,524 for a private one. To recoup that cash, you’re going to want to attend one of the schools whose graduates earn the most.
Web hosting provider Hostinger did the math to find the top 10 schools when it comes to potential salaries. First on the list is Princeton University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science. Its graduates make about $227,172 per year. Some, like Jeff Bezos, make much more than that.
Following Princeton is the University of Washington, where the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering is named for the Microsoft co-founder. Allen did not attend the school, but in high school he and Bill Gates used its labs for a personal project until they were banned for being noisy, disruptive, and possible suspects in the case of some missing equipment. All has been forgiven thanks to the $50 million Allen gave the school. Those who’ve graduated from it make a median salary of $168,957 per year.
Engineering graduates of Santa Clara University can expect to earn about $159,782 per year. But they may never live up to one of the school’s most recent graduates, 14-year-old Kairan Quazi—who just went to work at SpaceX.
Duke University has the Pratt School of Engineering, whose graduates earn about $137,144 per year. The school is currently working on reducing the environmental impact of AI.
Fifth on the list is the University of Virginia’s School of Engineering and Applied Science. Its alumni earn about $135,287 a month. That school is followed by UCLA’s Samueli School of Engineering (median annual alumni salary: $128,131) and the place where the father of the internet, Vint Cerf, studied; Brigham Young’s Ira A. Fulton College of Engineering ($127,592); San Jose University’s College of Engineering ($127,047); UC San Diego’s Jacobs School of Engineering ($126,160); and the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo College of Engineering ($122,307).

Gareth Edwards' new sci-fi blockbuster The Creator has been impressing early viewers as the first reactions have begun trickling in.
“Step into my office,” says Joanna Fang. OK, but to the untrained eye it's a kleptomaniac's hoard: rolls of Astroturf, mud and moss, wooden planks, violin bows, smashed keyboards, plastic boxes brimming with shoes, a full armory of axes and swords, a sand pit, a bamboo fence, rocks, half a bike, smashed iPhones, a boat's anchor chain, a grimy car door. “Never trust a clean foley stage,” she says.
Alphabet Inc.'s Google can't invoke claims of bias by a top US Justice Department official in defending itself against a government lawsuit claiming the company maintains a monopoly in the market for online advertising technology, a federal judge ruled.
You may have heard about a little space game called Starfield, the gravitational pull from which risks swallowing all games discourse for months and possibly years to come. Perhaps that's no surprise for a game that's been in development and hyped for as long as any title that I can remember (well, ones that have shipped anyway) but it's easy to forget now the thing's in our hands that it was subject to multiple delays along the way.
The U.S. Justice Department and a coalition of state attorneys general on Tuesday will begin a blockbuster antitrust trial in Washington, alleging that Alphabet's Google unlawfully abused its dominance in the search-engine market to maintain monopoly power.
Bethesda Game Studios’ Starfield is available now for Xbox Series X/S and PC, amassing over six million players and topping physical sales charts in the United Kingdom. It was also in development for eight years, and despite that, as usually happens in the industry, some plans didn’t make it in.
Starfield director Todd Howard has spoken about plans for the game that didn’t make the final cut, including the idea for a very neat Fallout reference.
An iPhone belonging to a staffer at a Washington-based civil society organization was hacked remotely with spyware created by Israel's NSO Group.

Payday 3 comes with a laundry list of decisions that players will have to answer quickly when walking into the next job. Mask off or on? Creep around corners and avoid armed confrontation or bust in guns blazing? Engage in a hostage negotiation to buy some time or power through as quickly as possible? After 10 years and more than 200 updates since the Payday gang infiltrated Washington, DC, and after acquiring a few new associates along the way, the crew is picking up where they left off and heading to the greater New York City metropolitan area for Payday 3 — even crossing the Hudson River for a sting in New Jersey. They may have learned a few more tricks of the trade, but it’s up to the player to utilize them effectively. And, more often than not, going in with the goal of pulling off a job under the radar ends in reluctantly busting out guns. One false move is all it takes to blow it.
The U.S. sanctions may have forced Huawei into a corner as far as its smartphone business is concerned, but the Chinese firm has remained relentless and managed to circumvent those trade limitations with the Kirin 9000S, its first custom SoC that materialized after a brief hiatus and is found in the newly released Mate 60 Pro 5G.
Former chairman of PlayStation Studios Shawn Layden has Thoughts and somewhat dire warnings about the videogame industry's future, though what exactly he means by "the videogame industry" is a little open to guesswork.
