This document discusses and attempts to project scientific and engineering manpower supply and demand trends. Provided are detailed graphical and tabular data relating to science and engineering degrees awarded, enrollment trends, average annual openings for scientific and technical occupations, and projected supply/demand imbalances for…

Focuses on engineering education in the developing nations and assesses whether or not the existing curricula suit the specific conditions that prevail in each. (Author/SA)

Industry's needs for students with high technology skills are increasing. Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts project increases between 1980 and 1990 of 58% in the demand for computer professionals, 28% for engineers, and 24% for engineering technicians, compared with an increase of 17% for all workers. Industrial expansion and replacement of…

Discusses current trends in engineering and science enrollment at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and indicates the possibility of short manpower supply in some professional fields in 1976. (CC)

This report on the placement status of engineering and technology graduates in 1973 is presented on the basis of survey data obtained from registrars and placement directors of institutions in the U.S. The numbers of graduates were: 43,429 bachelor's, 16,718 master's, 434 engineer, and 3,587 doctor's degree graduates in engineering; (2) 18,316…

A report on the placement status of engineering and technology graduates in 1972 is presented on the basis of survey data obtained from registrars and placement directors of institutions in the U. S. The numbers of graduates were: (1) 44,190 bachelor's, 17,003 master's, 353 engineer, and 3,774 doctorate degrees in engineering, and (2) 22,578…

This report is based on a survey of the National Science Foundation's Industrial Panel on Science and Technology. The panel comes from essentially all major types of industry involved in research and development (R&D) and covers a wide range of firms and cooperations. The findings of the survey show that almost one-half of those who responded…

Results of a National Science Foundation survey indicate that developing shortages of science and engineering graduates in the current labor force for the most part do not apply to chemists and chemical engineers. (Author/JN)

Studies of past, present and projected supplies of scientists and engineers and their utilization in science and engineering are reviewed in this report. It is the intent of the study to explain the differences of opinion about the future supply and utilization of scientists and engineers and also to provide an assessment. Contents discuss: (1)…

Projections are analyzed for the future supply and demand of scientists and engineers. The demographics of the college-age population combined with estimates of the percentage of students who will pursue careers in science and engineering indicate significant shortfalls between the supply and demand for the next several decades. (CW)

Provided are projections for the scientific job market in the 1990s. Predicted are increases in the numbers of engineering positions above the rate of growth for all other occupations. The status and outlook for minority groups are highlighted. (CW)

Through a faculty retirement survey and a review of the literature, Clemson University, South Carolina, studied the future labor market for college faculty. The survey was administered to 1,250 faculty at the university in Fall, 1991. Fifty-six responded with data indicating that the College of Sciences, and the College of Agricultural Sciences…

Cyclical and structural issues in engineering skills formation in Great Britain were studied through a review of recent employment patterns, income patterns, employment projections, recent trends in education and training, and recent developments in technology and work organization. The review focused on the following issues: (1) the extent and…
