Graduates of the EMA program (B.S., M.S. and Ph.D.) have been very successful in landing interesting and challenging jobs at a wide variety of excellent companies, national laboratories and universities. Many employers seek EMA graduates because of their special skills which more traditional engineering disciplines do not emphasize as strongly. Some of the places that recent graduates have accepted positions include:

Alcoa, Allied Signal Aerospace, Anderson Consulting, A. O. Smith Corporation, Auburn University, Battelle Memorial Institute, Boeing Company, Caterpillar Inc, Cirrus Design, Detroit Diesel Corp., Electronic Data Systems, Ford Motor Co., General Dynamics, General Electric, General Motors Corporation, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Hewlett-Packard, HUSCO International, IBM Rochester, Johnson Controls Inc., Lockheed Aerospace Systems Co., Lockheed Martin Astronautics, Manitowoc Engineering Co., Mayo Clinic, Motorola Inc., NASA, National Instruments, Northrop Grumman, Orbital Technologies Corporation, Pennsylvania State University, Raytheon Aircraft, Rockwell International, Sandia National Laboratories, Sargent and Lundy Engineers, Seagate, Sonoco Products Company, Starsys Research, Stress Phonics, Structural Dynamics Research Corporation, University of Iowa, University of Wyoming, U. S. Air Force, U. S. Marines, U. S. Navy, Westinghouse, Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Examples of specific jobs include:

• test engineer at Ford
