Contents include: (1) General Notes; (2) Detailed…

SUCCEED (Southeastern University and College Coalition for Engineering Education)is an 8-campus coalition of engineering schools formed in 1992 under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation. In 1997, members of SUCCEED's faculty development and program assessment teams designed a faculty survey of instructional practices and attitudes…

The data presented in this report were collected in the 20th annual National Science Foundation/National Institutes of Health Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering, covering 1991. The survey universe is composed of all U.S. institutions with departments or programs offering courses of study at the…

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…

Post-college activities of Black U.S. graduates who studied engineering are the topic of this monograph, the last in a series of four reports examining Black engineering students at Purdue University. Black American B.S. degree recipients who studied engineering between 1938-1974 were surveyed. Advanced educational plans, type of employment, and…

At the request of the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Higher Education Panel (a stratified sample of 760 colleges and universities) collected information on the level of institutional expenditures for research equipment, the federal contribution to those expenditures, and the share of funds expended for high-cost items. The data were…

A study of City University of New York (CUNY) career graduates was conducted in 1981-82 to identify variables relating to the length of time taken by students to complete 2-year career programs and attain associate degrees. The study, which focused on business, health technology, and engineering technology graduates, utilized survey and transcript…

Baseline data on engineering programs, faculty, and students in selected and rapidly developing engineering specialties are presented, based on a survey of engineering schools. The specialties of interest are: computers, materials, microelectronics, robotics, manufacturing, and biotechnology programs. National estimates are derived from the…

Based on a January 1993 survey of 347 two-year colleges nationwide, this report describes aspects of engineering technology and science technology education and training in the nation's two-year colleges. Following introductory materials, the first chapter estimates the number of colleges offering engineering and science programs, reviews types of…

This document presents estimates of graduate enrollment and postdoctoral employment at the beginning of the academic year 1995-96 at all institutions in the United States that granted doctorate or Master's degrees in any science or engineering field. The survey universe is derived from the ongoing National Science Foundation/National Institutes of…

This report presents the data collected as part of the 1990 New Entrants Survey on the demographic, education, and employment characteristics of recent college graduates in science and engineering fields. A major objective of the survey was to develop national estimates and characteristics of the total population of scientists and engineers in the…

Data on salaries of engineers in education in 1979-80 are presented. Salaries were reported as a function of years since graduation at the bachelor's degree level or as a function of age. Information is broken down according to six academic ranks, two contract periods, and three types of institutions: engineering schools with PhD programs, those…

The third in a series of four monographs, this study focuses on Black engineering students at Purdue University who persisted, withdrew, or transferred. A survey of the students was conducted to determine factors that influence retention and attrition of Black American students in engineering. A comparison of the pre-college and college…

The Texas Prefreshman Engineering Program (TexPREP) was established in 1979 at 10 college and university campuses in the state to identify high achieving middle/high school students interested in pursuing engineering or scientific careers and to give these individuals reinforcement to pursue future college studies. This annual report features…
