Since 1966, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has monitored the annual inflows of scientists and engineers (SE) from abroad to provide information on levels and trends in scientist and engineering immigration and other related areas. This report provides data (in 6 charts and 10 statistical tables), which update previously published data, for…

Critiques papers previously published concerning the control of science and engineering (EJ 047 118, EJ 047 763, EJ 047 971, and EJ 047 972). Believes that to ensure socially responsible development of science and engineering, scientists and engineers need to exercise their individual ethical values, rather than to establish an expert" review…

Reports the results of a survey of the academic training grounds of 578 scientists and engineers who contributed articles to Scientific American" during 1962-67. (LC)

This CD-ROM was designed as a resource for K-12 educators who are interested in teaching their students about the accomplishments of Chicano/Latino and Native American scientists. Profiles of 48 Latino and Native American scientists, mathematicians, and engineers have been written at the middle school and high school levels and are searchable in…

Volume 1 of the study reports a work effort to define and give guidelines for the acquisition of cost-effective alternative continuing education (CE) systems to prevent the technological obsolescence of Air Force military scientific and engineering officer personnel. A detailed background survey of the problem was conducted using questionnaires,…

Described are three methods used by engineers and scientists to enrich their understanding of a technical subject prior to an interpersonal communication: Piggybacking, friendly consultation and/or professional peripheration. (17 references) (Author/SJ)

Data from the 1962 postcensus study of science and engineering manpower are used to analyze how women fare in these occupations. The study compares the typical woman at various ages to the typical man. She appears more likely than the man to have a father in a white collar occupation. Statistical comparisons are made on advanced degrees, marrying…

The National Science Policy and Priorities Act of 1972,'' (S. 32) provides funds to retrain scientists and engineers and a program to put them to work creating systems to improve public services. (BL)

This document provides tabular data on scientists, engineers, and technicians in manufacturing industries for 1980, as well as in non-manufacturing industries for 1981. The tables are arranged in six sections. The first three sections focus on scientists, engineers, and technicians in manufacturing industries for 1980 by major occupational group…

The employment outlook for chemists and chemical engineers is clearly improving. Data supporting this conclusion are presented. (Author/RH)

Between 1966 and 1975, 100,000 scientists and engineers emigrated to the U.S. Of these, 62,000 entered as permanent immigrants and the remainder as temporary visitors, subsequently changing their status to become permanent immigrants. This report summarizes the trends of scientist and engineer (S/E) immigration of the 1966-75 time period and…

Statistics concerning employment of scientists were obtained from 59,300 scientists responding to an Engineers Joint Council questionnaire. Findings reported are: (1) the overall unemployment rate was 3 percent for engineers compared to a rate of 5.8 percent for all other workers; (2) considering engineers not having engineering jobs, the…

Presents the report of the National Academy of Sciences' Committee in Human Rights which seeks to ease the plight of individual scientists, engineers, and medical personnel suffering severe repression. Case studies of instances of negligence of human rights are provided. (CP)
