Career Path Forecast
 According
to the U.S. Department of Labor,
Bureau of Labor Statistics,
computer hardware engineers are expected to have 5 percent employment
growth over the 2006-2016 period -- slower than the average for all
occupations.
Although the use of information technology continues to expand rapidly,
the manufacture of computer hardware is expected to be adversely
affected by intense foreign competition.
As computer and semiconductor manufacturers contract out more of their
engineering needs to both domestic and foreign design firms, much of the
growth in employment of hardware engineers is expected in the computer
systems design and related services industry.
