What Electromechanical Technologies/Technicians Graduates Earn

Median earnings at 1, 4, and 5 years (College Scorecard)

For Electromechanical Technologies/Technicians, the federal file supports exactly three earnings snapshots, and this page prints all of them: $71,604 one year after graduation, $81,835 at four years, $87,414 at five. The weighting note matters: medians here count graduates, not programs, across 1,246 people in the five-year pool, which is why they can sit above or below the unweighted middle program shown in the next column.

From $71,604 in the first year to $87,414 in the fifth, earnings grow 22% ($15,810). For scale, the median bachelor's field in the Scorecard file grows from $45,010 to $65,763 over the same span, so this field's early-career slope is gentler than typical.

The Pell split adds a second lens on the $71,604 year-one median: graduates who received Pell Grants earn a median of $71,521, and graduates who did not earn $73,806, a gap of $2,285. Read it as a map of where each group studied and the networks they carried in, not as the degree paying two different wages for the same work.

Inside its own CIP family, Electromechanical Technologies/Technicians ranks 5 of 10 published bachelor's fields by five-year earnings; the family median at that horizon is $86,833. Its closest sibling is Engineering/Engineering-Related Technologies/Technicians, Other at $86,833, below this field's $87,414. Family comparisons strip out the broad field effect and leave the specific program choice exposed.

Ranked across all 182 published fields, Electromechanical Technologies/Technicians stands number 36 by five-year earnings and number 25 by first-year earnings, and number 170 from the lowest median debt. Those three ranks together are the field's fingerprint: high earn rank with a low debt rank is the combination students are actually shopping for, and this field's spread between them is 134 places.

The debt side of the same degree

Across the 14 programs that report debt for Electromechanical Technologies/Technicians, the median graduate owes $26,730. Set beside the $71,604 year-one median, the debt is 37% of first-year gross earnings, about 4.5 months of pay before tax. Repaid on the standard 10-year schedule at 6.52%, it costs $304 monthly and $9,724 in interest. The student loan payoff calculator replays that schedule with your numbers, and the college ROI calculator weighs the full cost against the earnings table above.

Where graduates of this field earn the most

One field, many markets: the five-year median for Electromechanical Technologies/Technicians is $87,414 nationally, yet the strongest programs below run far ahead of it. The ranking keeps a 30-graduate floor under every entry, and University of Toledo heads the list at $101,485.

A median is a middle graduate, not a promise: half of University of Toledo's counted graduates earn less than $101,485. Weigh any program here against its own price using the net price estimator and the degree cost calculator.

Two more facts about the shape of this field: the five highest-paying programs in the table account for only 31.1% of the 1,246 graduates counted at five years, so the top of the table is a thin slice and not the field's center; and the leading program's five-year median of $101,485 sits 16% above the national field median of $87,414. Its graduates' debt figure is not published, one of the gaps this page leaves visible rather than filling.
