Just like mechanical engineers, there is more demand for engineers than supply. An engineering degree, although less specialised, is seem by some employers as more comprehensive than a mechanical engineering degree, which specifically focuses on building machinery (unsurprisingly). There's therefore even more of a scramble for engineering degrees and pay is a bit higher.
