More Jobs Available The "energy crisis" is helping engineering graduates to receive more and higher paying jobs, says Dr. Nunzio J. Palladino, dean of the College of Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University. "Engineering skills are vital if we are to find a way out of the maze of problems which has been created by the energy shortage," he says. A survey by the College Placement Council shows that employment offers for males with a bachelor's degree in engineering jumped by 83 per cent during 1972-73, while women received 94 per cent more offers than in 1971-72. Despite the larger number of graduates in 1972-73 who wanted jobs, reports John Alden, executive secretary of the Engineering Manpower Com mission of the Engineers' Joint Council, the recruiting com petition was stronger and there were more than enough job openings for engineering graduates seeking employment. Also, further demand by em ployers resulted in a wider range of choice for the most sought after graduates, Alden says. Women in engineering seem to be doing quite well, according to surveys, and the College Placement Council reports that the average salary offer for women, $936 per month, was slightly higher than for men, $929 per month, in competition areas such as engineering, but was lower than men's in other areas. "Not only is there more ac ceptance of women as engineers today, but there has been a change in women, themselves," says Dean Palladino. "They're becoming less timid about en tering what has for a long time been considered a man's profession."
