Discusses some impacts of the recent increase in female engineering graduates. (MLH)

Cites data on engineering enrollment, graduation, and employment for years 1952 to 1979. States that attempts to predict future student numbers and employment from examination of this data provides little guidance in arriving at conclusions. (CS)

Focuses on engineering education in the developing nations and assesses whether or not the existing curricula suit the specific conditions that prevail in each. (Author/SA)

Reports findings on engineering faculty demographics derived from a survey conducted by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). Presents data by geographical regions and discusses the reported variations. Notes perceived crises factors in engineering education. (ML)

This article reviews the status of employment, market conditions and the education pipeline for women, racial minorities and Hispanics in science and engineering in the United States. Employment growth, women's representation in careers, intended undergraduate major, selected characteristics, and SAT score comparisons are graphically displayed.…

Discusses engineering education at Harvey Mudd College including allocation of curricular elements, implementation of a five-year program, and preparation for various careers. Indicates that deepening ecological and urban problems leads to the demand for more engineering generalists sensitive to further effects of today's public decisions. (CC)

Discusses current trends in engineering education and practice. Indicates that present curricula lay a satisfactory foundation for professional activities demanded by society. (CC)

Briefly describes the bachelor's and master's program in the Department of Engineering Management (University of Missouri--Rolla) and provides results of a survey of their engineering management graduates. Areas examined include salaries and types of entry/present level employment positions for both bachelor's and master's graduates. (JN)

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)

Addresses the status of engineering education for women. Discusses the changes related to both the image of women and the engineering profession over the past 15 years. Assesses how computer-aided engineering has made engineering attractive to women today. (TW)

Expresses concern over the strain on higher engineering education to keep up with the demand for new engineers. Cites a study conducted to determine whether using currently employed engineers can reduce the burden on engineering schools. Results indicated American engineers are not used extensively in this way. (TW)

Discusses the relative roles of engineering and engineering technology. Questions where the baccalaureate engineering technology graduate fits within the engineering field. Lists four methods to improve marketing engineering to potential students and the public. Presents job production and the international picture. (MVL)
