The numbers of scientists/engineers employed at colleges and universities continue to grow, although not so rapidly as their numbers grow in the federal and industrial sectors. This is the conclusion of a survey from the National Science Foundation covering data collected in January 1982. Other survey highlights are reported. (JN)

Twenty Asian graduate students in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) were interviewed for this study. The study was divided into two parts. The first part asked the importance of various factors that were deemed to have influenced students' choices to study abroad, to study…

This publication is the third in a series of biennial reports in which academic resources in science and engineering are analyzed. It is based primarily on findings from four National Science Foundation surveys that collect information on academic research and development (R&D) expenditures, federal obligations, employment of scientists and…

These proceedings include four papers that examine four different models of the engineering labor market, namely, those of: (1) the American Electronics Association ("Technical Employment Projections, 1983-1987" by Pat Hill Hubbard); (2) the Bureau of Labor Statistics ("Future Labor-Market Conditions for Engineers" by Ronald E.…
