An Assessment of Research-Doctorate Programs in the United States: Engineering.
Jones, Lyle V., Ed.; And Others – 1982
The quality of doctoral-level chemical engineering (N=79), civil engineering (N=74), electrical engineering (N=91), and mechanical engineering (N=82) programs at United States universities was assessed, using 16 measures. These measures focused on variables related to: (1) program size; (2) characteristics of graduates; (3) reputational factors…
