Presented is the first of three reports by the National Science Foundation (NSF) on the 1974 National Survey of Scientists and Engineers conducted by the Bureau of Census. The survey was designed to measure the changes, every two years, in the demographic, educational, and employment characteristics of the scientists and engineers identified in…

Surveys concerned with salaries of scientists, engineers, and technicians have been compiled in this report; sources of the original surveys include agencies and departments of the federal government, professional scientific and engineering societies, educational associations, magazine publishers, and other professional organizations. Data are…

This report brings together data on salaries of scientists, engineers, and technicians. The salary surveys were conducted by agencies and departments of the federal government, professional scientific and engineering societies, educational associations, magazine publishers, and other professional organizations. Most of the surveys were originally…

Presented are social, educational, and job-related characteristics of a select group of scientists, engineers and other highly-trained persons in the United States. Eight major fields (computer specialists, engineers, mathematical specialists, life scientists, physical scientists, environmental scientists, psychologists, and social scientists) are…

The data presented in these tabulations are based on the 1976 National Science Foundation survey of scientific and engineering personnel employed at universities and colleges. The data are contained in 60 statistical tables organized under the following broad headings: trends; type of institution; field, employment status, control, educational…

This panel report was prepared as part of the study of engineering education and practice conducted under the guidance of the National Research Council's Committee on the Education and Utilization of the Engineer. The panel's goal was to provide a data base that describes the engineering work force, its main activities, capabilities, and principal…

Nationwide data are provided on the 1987 salaries of members of each of the American Institute of Physics' 10 member societies. Of the approximately 13,600 society members who were mailed a questionnaire, 61% responded. Data are presented by: degree level, type of employer, gender, salaries for PhDs by geographic location, PhD salaries by…

The Scientists and Engineers Statistical Data System (SESTAT) is a comprehensive and integrated system of information about scientists and engineers in the United States.

Describes female representation in science and engineering in the Swedish educational system and labor force. Discusses how to change attitudes toward female scientists and engineers in society. (YP)

This document was prepared to assist those persons or groups seeking data on the participation and availability of women and/or minorities in those professional areas generally requiring formal education to at least the baccalaureate level. More than 100 data sources were used to provide information for this compilation including materials from…

The demand and supply of baccalaureate degree engineers from 1975 to 1983 are assessed, with some analysis of the implications the declining birth rate will have beyond 1983. The study reveals a current (1975) shortage for all types of engineers as well as a considerable long-term shortage to 1983 because of the probable response to the energy…
