Provides a summary of research and graduate study activities at 227 U.S. and Canadian engineering colleges. Included is information on the number of faculty and students; degree requirements; degree granted; research areas; and research expenditures of each institution. Presents indices by fields of graduate study and areas of research. (YP)

Summarizes data from a 1980 survey of the Engineering Manpower Commission of the American Association of Engineering Societies. Reports numbers of Bachelor's, Master's, and Ph.D. awards to engineering and technology graduates; also degrees granted to women and minorities. (CS)

Discusses the problems of the future shortage of engineering faculty and the substantial decline in the number of PhD students. The external and the internal factors of these problems are also discussed. (HM)

Reviews trends in the population of engineering students since 1975. Discusses fixed and flexible elements of the college-age population. Describes the current situation of women and minorities in engineering education. Compares freshmen and graduate data. Considers the possible future effects of current trends on American universities. (CW)

The masters degree program of the Department of Mining Engineering at McGill University is described. The program makes extensive use of the seminar format and relies heavily on the participation of outside experts. (BB)

Engineers (N=2,732) were surveyed to determine their current/planned educational level and attitudes toward continuing/graduate education. Statistical breakdowns focus on: ethnic groups; engineering fields; present job function; and current/planned degrees. Respondents view continuing/graduate education as integral to careers and further training…

Presents a breakdown of engineering and technology degrees granted for 1973-74 by curriculum, level, and minority status. (GS)

Discusses four aspects of graduate education (self-assessment criteria, internal evaluation, criteria of quality, assessments by state organizations) and cites examples of how some universities manage their graduate programs. (MLH)

Summarizes survey findings of faculty and graduate students that were conducted by the American Society for Engineering Education. Provides data collected in the fall of 1985 on faculty shortages, faculty recruitment, faculty mobility, factors limiting Ph.D. production, the quality of engineering education, and graduate student characteristics.…

Provided are employment pattern data for baccalaureate engineering technology graduates from New York State's engineering technology programs. (SL)

Presents the questionnaire sent to American Society for Engineering Education members concerning graduate study and research. Also lists the names of engineering and technical colleges replying to the questionnaire. (CK)

Provides an analysis of 20 years of research and graduate study experiences in engineering colleges, focusing on 17 variables including full-time, faculty, part-time faculty, master's enrollment, doctoral enrollment, master's/doctoral degrees awarded, researchers, research expenditures, and number of research projects. (JN)

Described is the program of cooperative education in graduate engineering at the University of Cincinnati. (SL)

In 1982 almost half of all American doctoral degrees in engineering went to foreign students. The United States role in educating these students and several serious difficulties facing the American engineering education enterprise as it relates to foreign students are discussed. The need for national policy in this area is addressed. (JN)

Discusses three reasons for a master's degree in engineering technology. These include developing the body of knowledge unique to the field, providing continuing education for the practitioner through applied research, and providing advanced technical and pedagogical training for future engineering technology faculty.
