3.0 out of 5 stars Peterson's Engineer and Computer Science Careers, April 4, 2000

By	Michele Lee Geary (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews

This book gives people interested in Computer Science and Engineering a relatively comprehensive look at the various career options available to them. It discusses the educational requirements necessary for various positions, the starting salary of the positions and a short description of the work that would be performed. The only thing I found lacking in this book was the amount of information given regarding the specific job. I would have preferred more detail when describing the actual tasks of each position. Otherwise, I found the book quite helpful and I feel it painted a realistic portrait of most entry level positions available for engineers and computer science majors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great place to start, April 16, 2002

By	Celeste Wong (Louisiana, author of "Is There an Engineer Inside You?") - See all my reviews

Peterson's "Job Opportunities in Engineering and Computer Science" is a great book to find engineering company overviews. It list opportunities in architecture, biotechnology, computer programming, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering and technology. Be sure you have loads of time to wade through the all the information. It lists a fairly detailed description, the company website, human resources manager, telephone and fax number, company size, location, type, top competitors, and more.

If you are about to graduate to looking for a new job, this is a great place to start your search.
