A report is given of different levels of degrees granted in engineering in 1975-76, summarized according to curriculum, minority group, and school. Technology degrees also are reported, categorized by school, kind of program, and degree level. (DT)

Projects a shortage of engineers that will last until the early 1980's. Proposes a nationwide continuing education program for engineers to combat this shortage and restore individual's expertise. (GS)

The engineers of tomorrow must receive the best support, guidance, and education to enable them to create and use new technology appropriately for the benefit of humanity. Opportunities and responsibilities for engineers in the future will be significant. (RE)

Presented are analyses of the progress women engineers have made in gaining representation in the engineering profession. Discussed are acceptance, advancement, and distribution of women engineers by professional subdivisions. (RE)

In spite of their continually increasing numbers, engineering graduates have been having no trouble finding employment. Presented are analyses of engineering degrees awarded and future sources of employment for engineering graduates. (RE)

To maintain the participation of young Americans in the engineering work force, guidance efforts must give capable U.S. high school students the opportunity to evaluate engineering fairly as a career with a promising future. Activities aimed at providing their guidance are outlined. (Author/RE)

Students' fear of mathematics cause them to avoid mathematics subjects such as algebra and geometry. They are thus denied access to college curricula (such as engineering) which lead to the highest salaries for new graduates. (RE)

Offers a model for a performance-based training system based on job task analysis methodology that has been successfully implemented at a nuclear utility. Presents a flow chart of the training needs system and explains the steps involved in the process. (ML)
