This survey is the eighth in a series designed to give basic salary information on engineering graduates in the United States working in industry, government, and education. Its purpose is to report the present level of engineering salaries and, in addition, to indicate their trend over the past 15 years. Data were collected by questionnaire from…

This survey is the eighth in a series designed to give basic salary information on engineering graduates in the United States. Its purpose is to show the present level of engineering salaries and, in addition, to indicate their trend over the past 15 years. Data were collected by questionnaire from 979 organizations, representing 191,042…

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…

As several authors (Charles Reich and Theodore Roczak, for instance) have concluded, a new or counter culture is emerging. It is unlikely, however, that this culture can or will dispense with technology. Instead, its characteristic will be a new form of humanism in which the rational and irrational sides of humanity will be fused into a harmonious…

The survey, conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, includes a brief summary of findings; survey methods; the questionnaire, reporting instructions, definitions used to collect data; and tables. It was estimated that 1,062,000 scientists and engineers were employed in private industry in 1969, up 3.9 percent from the 1,022,000 employed in…

This report focuses on the employment of academic scientists and engineers from 1975 through 1976. The total number of scientists and engineers employed by universities and colleges is reported and discussed, broken down into type of activity, field of employment, type of control (public or private), and sex. (DT)

Reported are manpower data needed by those engaged in science and engineering policy activities. The information is collected from scientists and engineers themselves. The basis of this report is the first survey, in a biennial series, of the Doctoral Roster of Scientists and Engineers, conducted for the National Science Foundation by the…

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…

The chances of an employee being relocated are higher in the chemical and plastics industries than in U.S. business as a whole. But the benefits provided by chemical and plastics companies to employees shifted to other locations are generally better than average. (Author/BB)

Provides an annotated bibliography of materials available to chemists and chemical engineers to aid in career planning. (CP)

Summarizes a report covering six layoffs involving 66 chemists and chemical engineers occurring from March to September 1974. Guidelines for employers were not met by some companies. Note is made of this. (EB)

This National Science Foundation (NSF) publication of 1963 contains statistical descriptions of the one-half million persons working as scientists, one million engineers, one million technicians, and one-quarter million teachers of science and mathematics in secondary schools. Employment profiles by sectors of the economy are provided. (CP)

Although academic employment of full-time scientists and engineers increased by three percent in 1977, more than one-fourth of public and private institutions reported a reduction in employment levels. There appeared to be a shift in emphasis toward applied rather than basic research. The employment of women as full-time scientists and engineers…

This study is limited to science and engineering doctorates (both PhD and Doctor of Arts) and spans the period 1969 to 1980--a period for which most of the factors likely to have a significant effect on the supply and utilization of doctorates are known or can be reasonably anticipated. The basic methodology involves statistically projecting past…
