Discusses direct chemical information that can be obtained from modern nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods, concentrating on the types of problems that can be solved. Shows how selected methods provide information about polymers, bipolymers, biochemistry, small organic molecules, inorganic compounds, and compounds oriented in a magnetic…

Presents data on the number of bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry from institutions whose programs are approved by the American Chemical Society (ACS). Reviews the programs and activities endorsed by the ACS Board of Directors in April, 1986. (ML)

Reports the top 25 schools having the most chemistry graduates for 1983-84, providing separate lists of total bachelor graduates, certified bachelor graduates, masters graduates, and doctoral graduates. The University of Ilinois, Urbana-Champaign heads the list of total bachelor graduates (N=139) and certified bachelor graduates (N=69). (DH)

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…

Presented is the full American Chemical Society (ACS) report on the number of bachelor's, master's, and doctoral graduates in chemistry and chemical engineering. Includes a complete list of degrees awarded by institution. Indicates that although bachelor's and master's degrees have increased, the number of master's degrees awarded has decreased.…

Findings from an American Chemical Society survey show that the pessimism that characterized the job market in 1983 has given way to a much brighter outlook as employers hire more chemists and chemical engineers. Data from the survey on the supply and demand of chemical professionals are provided and discussed. (JN)

Discusses a biochemical engineering program for undergraduate and graduate students. Describes three university programs including the goals, courses, and problems involved. (YP)

Provides details on career opportunities for chemical professionals, considering (in separate sections): (1) career advancement; (2) demand for chemical professionals; (3) salaries; and (4) career planning. Also provides advice to scientists and engineers who are striving to move into management positions. (JN)

Analyzes the employment market for chemical professionals. Discussed are increasing the number of science graduates; demand for chemical professionals; and salaries. Information and services for career planning are indicated. (YP)

Provides salary data obtained from an American Chemical Society survey of chemical professionals. Indicates that salaries of experienced bachelor's, master's, and doctoral chemists increased between March 1983 and March 1984, but not as much as in the previous 12 months. Salaries of new bachelor's and doctoral chemists also rose. (JN)

A Chemical and Engineering News survey shows that among chief executives in 20 U.S. chemical firms, 73 percent have some technical training; 53 percent of these have bachelors in chemistry or chemical engineering, substantially increased from a decade ago. Comments on the trend toward more technically trained management are provided. (Author/JN)

Highlights a National Science Foundation (NSF) assessment which determined whether there will be an adequate supply of science, engineering, and technician personnel for meeting defense/nondefense needs between 1982 and 1987. Indicates that personnel shortages may occur in a few science/engineering employment categories, but chemists/chemical…

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)

Discusses use and applications of computer technology in chemistry, indicating that the importance of the computer has not been fully realized in the realm of organic synthesis. Includes discussions of various computer programs and systems currently used, supplemented by tables highlighting, for example, features of major computer-aided synthesis…

Lists 1981-82 chemistry and chemical engineering degrees awarded by American Chemical Society-approved schools and provides summary degree data for 1978-82 graduate student enrollments. Indicates decline in bachelor's and rise in both master's and doctoral degrees. Also highlights activities/reports of the American Chemical Society Committee on…
