"Science and Engineering Indicators" ("Indicators") is a biennial congressionally mandated report that provides high-quality quantitative information on the U.S. and international science and engineering enterprise. The report employs a variety of presentation styles--such as narrative text, data tables and figures--to make the…

This report presents data from the 2008 National Survey of Recent College Graduates (NSRCG) on the characteristics of men and women who received bachelor's or master's degrees in science, engineering, or health fields from U.S. institutions during the two academic years 2006 and 2007. The data reflect the employment, educational, and demographic…

Science and Engineering Indicators (SEI) is first and foremost a volume of record comprising the major high-quality quantitative data on the U.S. and international science and engineering enterprise. SEI is factual and policy neutral. It does not offer policy options, and it does not make policy recommendations. SEI employs a variety of…

This document contains a list of appendix tables for the "Science and Engineering Indicators 2012" report. The tables are presented according to these chapters: (1) Elementary and Secondary Mathematics and Science Education; (2) Higher Education in Science and Engineering; (3) Science and Engineering Labor Force; (4) Research and Development:…

The United States holds a preeminent position in science and engineering (S&E) in the world, derived in large part from its long history of public and private investment in S&E research and development (R&D) and education. Investment in R&D, science, technology, and education correlate strongly with economic growth, as well the development of a…

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields are widely regarded as critical to the national economy. To provide a nationally representative portrait of undergraduate students' experiences in STEM education, these Web Tables summarize longitudinal data from a cohort of first-time, beginning students who started postsecondary…

This document contains detailed statistical data on science and engineering degrees between 1966 and 1998. The data is based on two surveys. Bachelor's and Master's degree data were collected by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and data on doctorates were collected by the Survey of Earned Doctorates, which is sponsored by the…

The data in this report show trends in doctorate awards by science and engineering (S&E) field and recipient characteristics, institutions awarding doctorates, and postgraduation plans of recipients. The source of the data is the Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED). The SED is conducted annually for the National Science Foundation (NSF) and four…

This report is the Chemical and Engineering News' annual compilation of data on research and development. Sections include overview, federal government, industrial, and university data. Tables and graphs are used to present most of the information. (YP)

This document presents detailed statistical data on science and engineering degrees by race/ethnicity of recipients between 1990 and 1998. The data is based on two surveys: Bachelor's and Master's degree data were collected by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and data on doctorates were collected by the Survey of Earned…

Two tables provide corrected data on the top schools in the number, percent, and group membership of minority baccalaureate degrees awarded (1998) in engineering; and the top schools in the total number, percent, and gender of minority master's degrees awarded for all disciplines combined (1996-97). (DB)

This InfoBrief uses data collected from the 2009 Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED) to report on trends in the numbers of individuals who earn research doctoral degrees from U.S. academic institutions. Postgraduation plans of new doctorate recipients are examined from 2004 to 2009, a period that includes the recent economic decline. The following…

This document offers a snapshot of enrollment and graduation statistics of African Americans, Latinos, and American Indians in engineering institutions in the United States. This data provides the baseline for a series that will examine institutional productivity over time and will include analyses of retention and effective university policy in…

This document presents data collected from all American engineering colleges for the academic year 1990-91 on minority enrollment and graduation rates by gender. The objective in analyzing the data was to determine what gender-specific engineering education issues should be considered in pursuing the goal of increased minority participation. To…

This document reports on statistics of research and development (R&D) within the United States according to the geographical distribution for 1997-1998. Science and engineering profiles for 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico are presented. Topics include State Distribution of Sector-Specific R&D, Ten-Year State R&D…
