Each fall the Statistical Research Center conducts its Survey of Enrollments and Degrees, which asks all degree-granting physics and astronomy departments in the US and Puerto Rico to provide information concerning the number of students they have enrolled and counts of recent degree recipients. In the academic year 2007-08 there were 252…

This document reports on academic enrollments (including Fall 2006) and degrees conferred at the bachelor's, master's, and doctorate levels (including academic year 2005-2006) at colleges and universities with physics or astronomy degree-granting programs. The findings presented in this report are based on an annual survey of all the physics and…

Presents American Chemical Society statistics on bachelor's, master's, and doctoral graduates from approved schools from 1980-84. Comparisons are made for yearly growth, certified/noncertified graduates, and men/women for both chemistry and chemical engineering. Also lists numbers and types of chemistry/chemical engineering degrees awarded by each…

Provides statistical data of female representation in college, engineering majors, and engineering careers in Italy. Discusses the reasons for choosing engineering as a major field and the difficulties of the choice. (YP)

Presents in tabular form chemists' salaries. Reviews salaries of chemists with B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees, chemical engineers, college faculty, industrial chemists, women, and employment status of chemists surveyed. Indicates relatively low unemployment and that medial salary for chemists has increased 11% between March 1980 and March 1981. (JN)

Statistics are provided from an annual survey of members of the American Chemical Society highlighting their economic status. Included are employment, salaries, industry comparisons, and academic comparisons. The lower status of women's salaries in chemistry is noted. (CW)

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)

Because undergraduate education is the foundation for graduate studies, it is important to know where our Nation's science and engineering (S&E) doctorate recipients are receiving their undergraduate training. Specifically, this report addresses the following broad questions: (1) What are the undergraduate origins of S&E doctorate holders? (2)…

Statistical information dealing with the employment of scientists and engineers with master's degrees is provided within this report. Findings are summarized of a research effort aimed at developing estimates of the size of the population with master's degrees in science and engineering fields by sex and field for the period 1960-1978. Also…

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)

This report updates a 1977 study (which explored the status of women in faculty, postdoctoral, and advisory posts) and examines any changes in the status of women faculty between 1977 and 1981. Drawing on more limited data, it also examines their situation in industry. Data for the report were obtained primarily from the 1981 Survey of Doctorate…

Describes female representation in science and engineering in the Swedish educational system and labor force. Discusses how to change attitudes toward female scientists and engineers in society. (YP)

Data presented in this report are derived from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) fall 1980 Survey of Graduate Science Students and Postdoctorates, covering 9,930 graduate science and engineering (S/E) departments in 633 doctorate- and master's-granting institutions. Highlights of the survey indicate that: (1) graduate enrollment in S/E…

Stressing the importance of engineers to the growth of the economy, the building of national defense, and the preparation of future generations for a technological age, this report examines the changes in engineering degree awards from 1972-1984. The document describes these changes from four perspectives. The role of graduates from United States…
