The annual census of industrial employment, production workers, women, the workweek, scientists and engineers, chemical employment, wages, and productivity in the chemical industry is presented. Trends in the numbers of workers, productivity, and unit labor costs are illustrated in graphs. (CW)

Presents statistical data for engineering technology degrees, engineering undergraduates, and graduate degrees in 1989. Discusses trends for women, minorities, and foreign students. Includes data for many individual schools. (YP)

Presents statistical data on chemistry and chemical engineering departments for the 1988-89 academic year. Provides tables for departments offering approved programs, degrees awarded by schools, and trends during the last five years. (YP)

Presented are employment projections in science and engineering. A shortfall is predicted unless more women and minorities can be attracted to science. Projections are based on a number of demographic and educational statistics. (CW)

This report is designed to pull together the data that are available on the status of blacks in undergraduate education for use in initiating methods to improve the allocation of human resources in science and engineering in the United States. The listings and tabulations used data from the CASPAR data base and the High School and Beyond…

Examines minority students' enrollment based on a national survey data. Describes students' background characteristics, college choice, engineering decision, financial need, college environment, and factors related to college success. Reports that commitment to the university, high school grade, SAT-mathematical score, and financial need were…

Describes the history and accreditation of Canadian engineering education. Presents statistical data and discusses enrollments by major discipline at undergraduate and graduate levels. Points out four major problems related to engineering education: lack of financial resources; lack of infrastructure support; shortage of well-qualified…

Discusses an engineering faculty pipeline. Provided are the statistical figures showing: (1) gender differences; (2) engineering doctorates by race and institutions; (3) foreign faculty; (4) citizenship of engineering doctorates; (5) doctorates who attended a two-year college by race; and (6) plans of foreign citizens receiving doctorates. (YP)

Examines the supply and national origin of the holders and near-holders of engineering doctorates who applied to one university engineering department in which extramural research has been emphasized. Compares them with national data on doctoral recipients. (TW)

Provides some of the results of the Engineering Manpower Commission's fall 1986 survey of enrollments in engineering education. Includes tabular data on those enrollments categorized by students in all institutions surveyed and for just those students in accredited programs, as well as by curriculum and by school and state. (TW)

Salaries and demand for scientists and engineers are described. Comparisons of chemists and other scientists are provided. Resources for career planning in science and engineering are listed. (CW)

This report presents data on the demographic and employment characteristics of the nation's doctoral scientists and engineers. Data were developed as part of the Longitudinal Doctorate Project. Current information on the supply and utilization of doctoral personnel in science and engineering reflects the results of the 1997 Survey of Doctorate…
