Bachelors degrees in engineering show a 13 percent rise over last year; doctorates have yet to be affected by the undergraduate enrollment boom. (Author/BB)

Argues in favor of establishing an accreditable curriculum in "pure" astronautical engineering (leading to a bachelor of science degree in this field), giving reasons why such reform is needed (including equating "astronautics" with "aeronautics") and why a new curriculum is needed. (JN)

Reveals that 107 institutions offer baccalaureate engineering technology (BET) programs; the majority of these consider their programs to be expanding. This survey finds a current ratio of one BET graduate to every seven B.S. engineering graduates. Includes a list of institutions offering the BET program, including required areas of study. (MLH)

Describes the first bachelor of science program in environmental engineering technology, with objectives of providing adequate training in the control of air, water, and land pollution. Includes a four-year curriculum plan. (MLH)

Presents and discusses data on engineering technology enrollments for all students (by curriculum and level), for women and minority groups, and for all programs (broken down by state and type of degree). Data comparing 1982 to previous years are also included. (BC)

Presents data from the Engineering Manpower Commission's 1983 survey of engineering technology degrees. Results indicate a 12 percent increase in associate degrees and a 9.9 percent increase in bachelor's degrees. Summaries of engineering technology degrees awarded by curriculum and degrees by school and degree level are included. (BC)

Discusses rationale for and emphasis of Brigham Young University's four-year program leading to bachelor's of electronics engineering technology (BSET). Also discusses job market response to the program and salaries of program graduates. A preliminary survey of May 1982 graduates showed that each BSET graduate received from one to six job offers.…

The results of a two-year study at Worcester Polytechnic Institute is a new set of degree requirements, including a qualifying project and a competency examination. (BB)

Describes a study in New York which recommended that no new baccalaureate technology programs be developed in New York State due to an absence of need as indicated by employers and institutions offering the baccalaureate technology programs. Also recommended that the continuation of existing programs be fully conditional on accreditation by the…

Cites confusion existing today in industry over B.S. in Engineering and Bachelor in Technology (B.E.T.) Degrees as evidence that the inception of a Master in Technology Degree would be ill advised. (CP)

A survey of the graduates from bachelor of technology programs at one institution indicates that they were adequately trained for their technical positions in industry. Their job assignments were very similar to those of B.S. graduates in engineering, and very different from those of the associate degree graduates. (MLH)

Summarizes a survey on bachelor's, master's, and doctoral engineering degrees awarded in 1983. Data on women, minority, and foreign student degrees are included. Tables listing states with most engineering degrees, schools with most engineering degrees, and engineering degrees by school and degree level are also included. (JN)

Reports results of a study comparing 15 engineering schools in the United States and abroad, focusing on undergraduate programs for the first degree beyond secondary education. For the United States, only programs leading to the B.S. in engineering were considered. (CS)

A telephone survey was conducted to determine the status and effectiveness of engineering management education at the bachelors degree level. Discussed are growth of programs; accreditation; and acceptance. Accounts of several programs at specific institutions are provided. (RE)
