Program Analysis
At $66,947/yr, Mechanical Engineering graduates from University of Washington-Seattle Campus land near the $70,527 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
The 17.1x earnings multiple means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition cost by an order of magnitude. By pure financial math, this is a standout.
AI risk is moderate — 53% task exposure — and the 19% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The median debt load of $14,448 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.
Ranked #138 out of 320 programs, University of Washington-Seattle Campus's Mechanical Engineering offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $66,947 to $94,653 shows 41% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
