College Scorecard reports school-wide earnings and price, not per-major outcomes for individual colleges. Program share is a concentration signal, not a promise of department quality. Use it as a proxy, then verify department-level outcomes with the school.
This page stays available for users because the program appears in federal data, but it is not promoted for search indexing while the reported share is below 1%.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 18 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($10,518 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($33,042 above). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 50% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Engineering Mechanics accounts for 0.1% of reported programs at Carnegie Mellon University, which is bigger than 44% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 9 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Carnegie Mellon University's average net price is $31,944 per year, about $127,776 over four years. That is $10,518 above the $21,426 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $114,862 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $33,042 above the $81,820 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
Start with program share, net price after aid, graduation rate, location, and whether the department publishes placement or licensure outcomes. EduGradify ranks Carnegie Mellon University #9 of 18 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
