3. Business analysis Big data workers can exert their fists in a wide range of fields. From the Ministry of National Defense, Internet startups to financial institutions, big data projects are needed everywhere to drive innovation. The industries with the strongest demand for big data processing include: pharmaceutical industry, computer software, Internet, scientific research, IT technical services and biotechnology. Data analysis or data processing positions are also very rewarding. In Silicon Valley, the income of entry-level data scientists is already six figures (US dollars). There are many top universities offering this major, such as Stanford University, University of California at Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon University, Columbia University and so on.
5. Biotechnology Bioengineering is an interdisciplinary subject, which gives consideration to biology and engineering, aiming at solving practical problems in agriculture, food science and medicine. Bioengineering majors are usually supplemented by business courses, such as Johns Hopkins University, which provides double degrees in these two majors. Many bioengineering majors are originally graduate students, but the demand for undergraduate graduates is increasing recently, like Delaware State University. Bioinformatics and biomedical engineering related to bioengineering.
4. Financial Engineering Financial engineering is a discipline based on finance, which combines computer science and mathematics. The difference between metalworking and finance is that it cannot be separated from financial information base, calculation model, risk and decision analysis. The master of financial engineering mainly works in investment banks, commercial banks, fund companies, insurance companies, accounting companies, software companies and corporate finance departments. Some graduates are assigned to government departments, energy companies and other institutions. Financial engineers, known as Quants, are engaged in risk management, portfolio optimization, design and development of financial products, financial analysis, sales and trading. The top schools are Carnegie Mellon, Columbia University, Princeton University, University of Southern California and new york University, while the middle schools are Washington University, Boston University and Worcester Institute of Technology.

EE has broad employment prospects and a wide range of employment. Graduates majoring in electrical engineering can play an important role in the fields related to electrical engineering, such as system operation, telecommunication department, automatic control, information processing, experimental technology, research and development, economic management and application of computer technology. It can be involved in chip development and electronic product research and development in manufacturing, aerospace, medical and military fields, as well as manufacturing factories, enterprises, power plants, research institutes, electronic materials research institutes and electronic product companies. There are many schools offering electronic engineering, such as Urbana-Champaign, Cornell University, University of Southern California and so on.
9. Forensic accounting has a long history, but its rise has benefited from the constant financial scandals in recent years.
