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…

The number of engineering graduates entering the armed forces as enlisted men has steadily increased since the changes in the draft in 1967. As a result of this increase, the utilization of the enlisted engineering graduates in 1969 was incompatible with the professional development of a majority of the individuals reported. A number of…

Reported are data regarding employment of scientists and engineers at doctorate-granting institutions. Employment of scientists and engineers in January 1974, was up 3 percent. Almost all of the increase was due to the increase in the number of life scientists. The greatest declines were in the number of psychologists and engineers. Women…

The immigration of approximately 57,000 scientists and engineers to the United States during the 1966-70 period prompted questions as to the benefit to the United States, the implications for countries of origin, and the reasons behind the movement. This report is a broad survey of immigrant scientists and engineers conducted by the National…

This issue of "Engineering Manpower Bulletin" reviews some of the statistics and other information concerning the status of women in engineering. These major topics are considered: dispelling some common misconceptions; women in the current engineering picture; why does engineering need women; what keeps women out of engineering; problems facing…

Consulting engineering firms constantly are striving to improve their efficiency and increase their productivity. The greatest increases in design productivity can be achieved by more effective project and design management, particularly in the public sector. (Author/MLF)

Reported are results of a survey and a forecast of the number of science doctorates in the United States by the year 1980, of 350,000. The magnitude was determined through examination of the 1968 group, estimates of death and retirement attrition, projections of emigration and immigration patterns, and projections of doctorates produced between…

This kit contains materials and instructions for evaluating the engineer's salary in terms of the Commission's "Guidelines to Professional Employment for Engineers and Scientists" which states that an engineer should receive a salary in keeping with his professional contribution and commensurate with the salaries of other employees, both…

Adapted from a paper presented at the European Federation of Chemical Engineering Conference on Chemical Engineering Education, Churchill College (Cambridge, U.K., July 10-12, 1968).

Reported in this newsletter in narrative and tabular form is the result of a 1972 Professional Technical and Scientific Manpower Survey and a 1974 National Survey of Scientists and Engineers, which also contains information for 1973. The two surveys contributed information for a longitudinal file for which demographic, educational, and employment…

This publication is a report in which past trends and events relative to scientific manpower in the form of scientists and engineers are reviewed, the current status of the scientific manpower situation is described, and various assessments of possible future situations are compared. Within the last 25 years the situation has changed from one in…

This bulletin presents the highlights of an evaluation of today's engineering graduates as seen by the managers of engineering, manufacturing and technical marketing in a major electrical equipment manufacturing company. Today's engineer is seen as far more productive than his predecessor. The computer has greatly expanded his productive capacity.…

A report on the influx of scientists, engineers, and physicians from abroad is presented to assess recent trends in terms of numbers, occupations, and national backgrounds. Both immigrant and nonimmigrant components are included. Descriptions are made in connection with migration patterns, aliens adjusted to immigrant status, demographic…
