Of the men who received degrees n the Engineering School last June, 42 1/2 per cent, or about 14, are now gainfully employed, 25 per cent or eight men are continuing their studies, and 32 1/2 per cent, or roughly 11 men are not known to be at work at the present time, it was announced late yesterday afternoon at Pierce Ball.
According to G. M. Fair, associate professor of Sanitary Engineering, and acting dean, these figures are as good as could be expected, although they do not compare favorably with last year. "Up to 1931 we had no problem at all in placing our men," Fair pointed out "Even this year of the men engaged in sanitary work who graduated last June, we knew of only two who are not now employed. There are two more men when we are not sure about although we think they may have jobs now."
The main part of the men have gone into industry and manufacturing according to the report, but a comparatively large number have found work teaching engineering or allied subjects. Most of these who are now employed in industry are Mechanical, Civil or Sanitary Engineers while the Mining and Electrical fields have also been successful in placing a good position of they graduates.
Before the depression the School had representatives from most of the large engineering corporations throughout the country meeting all the graduating men and lining them up for jobs during the coming year.
