Presented is a compendium of quantitative information portraying science education in the United States. The data, gathered from a wide variety of sources, are assembled into six chapters including resources, participation, attitudes, goals and needs, test data, degree data, and employment in science and engineering. Each entry consists of a chart and sometimes a corresponding table printed on the same page. Many of the observations on the individual entry pairs are assembled as highlights, introducing each chapter in order to provide a convenient overview of the content of the chapter. (Author/SA)
