The population of practicing engineers in Israel was analyzed by age, specialization, and country of training. These results were compared with results of a questionnaire survey of Israeli engineering graduates on the need for continuing engineering education in Israel. Results are reported and discussed. (JN)

Provides: (1) graduate and undergraduate enrollment data for 1984, including enrollment by curriculum and by institution; (2) a 10-year summary (fall 1975 to fall 1984); and (3) women and selected minorities in undergraduate engineering (1983-84). These and other enrollment data as well as enrollment trends are discussed. (JN)

Reports on 15 tasks, as outlined by the Pipeline Implementation Committee of the American Society for Engineering Education, that are within the sphere of influence and the responsibility of university engineering deans for sustaining a vital corps of engineering practitioners and professors in an era of increasing technological change. (JJK)

Reports total 1983 graduate and undergraduate engineering enrollment as well as enrollment by curriculum and for women, minorities, and foreign national students. Includes a 10-year summary (Fall 1974-1983) of engineering enrollment. Indicates that graduate enrollment continued a gradual upward trend while freshmen enrollment fell. (JN)

Reports findings on engineering faculty demographics derived from a survey conducted by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). Presents data by geographical regions and discusses the reported variations. Notes perceived crises factors in engineering education. (ML)

Describes recommendations related to engineering faculty pipelines by the American Society for Engineering Education task force. The recommendations are: (1) enlarging the faculty pool; (2) enhancing the graduate school environment; (3) enhancing the faculty environment; (4) attracting non-traditional faculty; (5) working on foreign faculty…

This article outlines the problems in the student pipeline and the faculty pipeline related to engineering. Difficulties of women engineering faculty members are discussed. (YP)

This article discusses the sources of future faculty, the ability to draw members of underrepresented groups to faculty positions, and problems related to the increase in foreign graduate students and faculty. (YP)

Described are the obstacles of women who choose engineering as their career at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Difficulties of women faculty members in their positions are described. Lists six references. (YP)

This commentary examines the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) report, "Educating Scientists and Engineers: Grade School to Grad School" and the American Society for Engineering Education report, "The Engineering Student Pipeline." Provides an official OTA view of the problems in the pipeline. (YP)

Describes a computer system used at Arizona State University to help advise students in industrial and management systems engineering. Discusses the expert system, "Personal Consultant," that was used in developing the overall program. (TW)

Presents findings from an American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) questionnaire survey which examined the impact of faculty shortages on the quality of engineering education, what faculty are needed to maintain or restore quality to engineering programs, graduate student enrollment, and trends in faculty recruitment and retention.
