Part of a continuing series under the title "Science Policy Studies and Documents," dealing with surveys and studies on the national science policy of member states, this booklet presents data on Norway. Included are data on (1) historical development (universities, colleges, societies, museums, research), (2) legal and administrative…

This survey concerns itself with the distribution of nonteaching assistance and staff support in chemistry departments and its relationship to the size of the department and the nature of the institution. The survey reports on 55 departments of chemistry of colleges in the State of New York. (BB)

Describes the educational process involved in becoming a scientist, the different dimensions of academic science, industrialized science, the scientists' management of research and development, scientists in their social context, and the vocational motivation for becoming a scientist. (DS)

Surveys most important intellectual abilities for physics students. Found four factors: visualization; mathematics; logic; and problem solving. Explores the variations between respondent classification (researcher, teacher) and student goal (physicist, scientifically aware layman) on the ratings. (Author/YP)

Reported are the results of the enrollment survey conducted by the Engineering Manpower Commission of Engineers Joint Council in the fall of 1968. Questionnaires were sent to all the engineering schools in the United States; 265 schools responded. Some of the undergraduate results are (1) freshman engineering enrollments are down, although by a…

Discussed are the nature and purpose of a Ph.D. degree in chemistry, job prospects, characteristics of a good program, suggested admission criteria, and the need for high program standards. (CO)

This document reports data on science graduate students currently enrolled, and the number and probable rate of induction of those in draft liable classifications. With the assistance of several societies in the various scientific disciplines, 1,237 doctorate-granting science departments were queried. Reported was information on the draft status…

The pattern of who conducts university research is likely to change as universities cope with stabilizing undergraduate and graduate enrollments and tighter research budgets. Universities will hire an increasing number of scientists and engineers in temporary research appointments that are neither part of the regular tenure track nor postdoctoral…

Describes the manpower situation in geoscience and the job opportunities that have opened up in response to the shortage of vital materials and energy sources. (BR)

Reports the 1974 survey of both graduate and undergraduate enrollment in geoscience departments; reports the median salaries for graduates and breaks down the enrollment according to sex and minority groups. Also reports that industry is recruiting BA/BS and MA/MS graduates vigorously but employment of Ph.D.'s is declining. (BR)

Reflects on the declining enrollment of students in first year chemistry courses. Suggests causes for this decline which include disenchantment with science, capricious chemical industry recruitment, exaggerated employment difficulties, and teaching approaches at both the secondary and tertiary levels. (GS)

THIS REPORT SUMMARIZES IMPORTANT DATA OF THE ENROLLMENT SURVEY CONDUCTED BY THE ENGINEERING MANPOWER COMMISSION OF ENGINEERS JOINT COUNCIL IN THE FALL OF 1967. QUESTIONNAIRES WERE SENT TO ALL KNOWN UNITED STATES TECHNICAL INSTITUTES, JUNIOR COLLEGES, AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS OFFERING ENGINEERING OR INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY. MORE THAN 97…

Discusses the role of professional societies in encouraging minority participation in their respective vocations. In particular, the actions of professional organizations of physicists are discussed. (CP)
