An interesting article appeared in yesterday's New York Times describing how the growth of computer data centers is placing engineers, especially those focusing on energy efficiency, in the spotlight.  There is no letup in demand as the surging use of server computers continues to rise.

"...people with the skills to design, build and run a data center that does not endanger the power grid are suddenly in demand. Their status is growing, as are their salaries” climbing more than 20 percent in the last two years into six figures for experienced engineers."

Good news for all you future engineers!
