Top 10 Countries that Produce Highest Number of EngineersTop 10 Countries that Produce Highest Number of Engineers

It’s more like a dream coming true for every engineering student to become an engineer someday after years of hard work.

That’s because:

“Scientists investigate that which already is; but engineers create that which has never been before.”- Albert Einstein

But the fact is, only a few countries have succeeded in building some of the best engineers in the world. Today they retain the tag for being one of the best countries to build engineering professionals of tomorrow.

Why re most of the countries on the run for enlisting their name in the list of ‘best countries with maximum number of engineers?

Maximum countries look forward to retain the percentage of A-listed engineering professionals because,

  • Professional engineers with high theoretical and practical knowledge are the best human resource for global MNC chains
  • Easy to invite global real-estate construction groups to invest in a country’s economy
  • Maximum scope to enjoy the economic benefits of foreign investment
  • Ensures constructional and work safety standard while executing urban planning, water management, public works and urban development projects

How many Engineers in the World?


It’s too cranky to discuss in a single blog about how many countries own the number of best engineers in the world.

However we have made the challenge a bit easier by distributing the list of top countries known for retaining maximum strength of engineers all over the world.

According to UNESCO statistics Russian Federation has the maximum number of engineers all over the world followed by the United States.

It’s one of the key reasons for Indian students to settle down in those countries after completing their engineering degree from overseas universities.

According to an educational survey, Russian Federation, United States, Mexico, Ukraine, Japan are some of those countries with the maximum number of engineers in the world. That includes 14,000 (approx.) Indian students who eventually settle down overseas after completing their engineering degree.

Let’s glide through the annual expenditure, growth rate and list of top 10 countries known for best engineering professionals to the world


1. Russia

Known as one of the richest and developed countries of the world, Russia spends maximum Roubles on it’s science workforce. It’s another reason for which maximum Asian and Indian students prefer enrolling in an engineering course offered in Russia based universities.

According to UNESCO, it has the maximum number of engineering graduates per year. According to the survey report it’s proved that an engineering professional earns 88,600 RUB per month (approx.) in the country. Their salary range begins from 28,800 RUB till 1,90,000 RUB (approx.)


2. Ukraine

Ukraine and Russia’s name comes parallelly as both the countries have turned into a global hub for education. While the first position goes to the medical colleges and institutes for building some of the best doctors of tomorrow, the second position goes for retaining a significant percentage of the worlds best engineers. That tempted the maximum number of international students to race for getting an engineering degree in Ukraine based colleges.

Post the aggrandized growth of the IT sector by 10-15%, Ukraine is one of those top 10 engineer producing countries that reaches the limit of 130,391 (approx.) a year.


3. Japan

It’s not unknown to the world about technological advancement of Japan. Japanese automobile companies like Mitsubishi, Toyota, Isuzu, hire the maximum number of engineers in the world. On surveying by salary experience, Japan has 6% growth in the last 20 years in comparison to the engineers per capita by other country rank while it comes to electrical and automobile engineering.



4. Iran

Iran is one of those top countries in the world that spends maximum on engineering professionals. It’s one of the reasons it has become a major hub for international students to pursue an engineering degree from the country. It’s probably the only country that provides a 9% increment rate after every 18 months. 8% of the national average annual increment in the profession is granted to the employees every after 19 months. That makes Iran one of the best countries for engineers all over the world.


5. South Korea


When it comes to engineering, South Korea is one of the most notable destinations for global students. That’s because the country is known for its global universities and affordable tuition fees, that barely exceeds 6,500 US$ a year (approx.).

The country’s economic expenditure figure from 2000-2005 on civil engineering shows job prospects and engineering opportunity in the country. It acts as an added catalyst for international students to stay back in the country post the completion of their engineering.


6. United States of America

The US stands on the second position for building engineering graduates by global country rank. It’s one of the reasons for which a significant number of international students rush to the US for building their career in engineering and settle back there. As per the survey report US spends 2.2 trillion US$ on their engineers annually.


7. Indonesia

Indonesia has the maximum number of engineers in the world with 30,000 (approx.) engineering graduates per year. It’s one of those countries where the number of engineering graduates per year is close to 140,170 (approx) per year. That’s another reason for international students to settle down here permanently after completing their engineering degree. With an opportunity to earn an average salary figure around 8,378US$(approx.) i.e. 5,86,460 INR(approx.), monthly, Indonesia’s name comes across the list of those top countries known for retaining the maximum number of global engineers all over the world.


8. Mexico


The number of student’s strength pursuing engineering degrees from Mexico has reached almost up to 6 per 1200 people (approx.) With more than 5,80,000 (approx.) number of students enrolled in engineering programs, now the percentage of enrollment in engineering courses are on rise in Mexico too. It’s one of the developing countries that is on run now for increasing the percentage of engineers in the country. Mexico is one of the few countries that provides a lucrative bonus percentage to it’s engineers. The average bonus rate is from 3% to 6% (approx.) of the annual salary drawn by the engineering professionals.


9. Vietnam

With a percentage of producing more than 1,20,00- 1,50,000 engineering graduates, Vietnam ranks after the US and Japan for its global engineering colleges and institutes. The country’s engineering job opportunities are another reason for Asian student community to choose this country for enjoying a lucrative salary package as an engineer. That includes their name in the list of the top countries known to retain the number of best global engineer’s populations. In comparison to other countries, Vietnam is one of those countries where an engineers salary range sticks in between 7,970,000 VND per month to 25,400,000 VND (approx.) per month.


10. France

Quite familiar to the world for it’s renaissance form of art and architecture, only a few know that France is one of those countries that’s slowly increasing the number of enrollment of engineering students. Their decentralized education curriculum, brilliant job opportunities and integrated business training, language and communication skill based programs attract a huge number of Asian student population to land in the country. A sufficient number of students choose to settle down here after becoming an engineering professional.

In fact, the annual salary package of skilled engineers exceeds 25000 Euros a month!
