This is the sixth year that an attempt has been made to bring together information of interest to deans of engineering for use in planning. Special attention has been focused on direct instructional costs, nonacademic personnel costs, regular nonsalaried operational costs, space rations, and student-faculty ratios. Only general comparisons for the…

Summarizes data on the numbers of women and minority engineers, including Black, Spanish surnamed, Oriental, American Indian, and disadvantaged groups. Indicates taht their future prospects will become even brighter, but problems of attracting more women and Blacks into engineering are significantly greater than in cases of other minority groups.…

Work Study may be defined as a combination of (1) methods study, which is a prerequisite to (2) work measurement. Most organizations include an industrial engineering or similar department for conducting their work study programs. In general, there is a declining percentage of employees doing work study as the size of the firm increases. (EB)

Reports statistics on women and minorities in science, including the fact that 47 percent of women scientists and engineers were not in the labor force in 1974, and only 5 percent of all male and female scientists in 1974 were from minority groups. (MLH)

This report represents the National Science Foundation's third projection analysis of science and engineering doctorate supply and utilization. This 1974 study incorporates several new elements. New data have been used, such as the results of the 1973 Survey of Doctoral Scientists and Engineers, and different methodologies were developed, such as…

Comments on the inadequacy of current engineering manpower data and what might be done to improve it. Declares the need for a national coordinated effort to obtain this information and make it available to students and others who base decisions, in part, on the future supply of engineers. (Author/MLH)

This is the first of a series of reports based on the 1972 Professional, Technical, and Scientific Manpower Survey, which was sponsored by the National Science Foundation and conducted by the Bureau of the Census. Included in this report are preliminary data highlighting selected information on employment status, age, sex, and education of persons…

Presented are social, educational, and job-related characteristics of a select group of scientists, engineers and other highly-trained persons in the United States. Eight major fields (computer specialists, engineers, mathematical specialists, life scientists, physical scientists, environmental scientists, psychologists, and social scientists) are…

This report examines the educational characteristics of science and engineering personnel employed by the Federal Government, including professional and non-professional personnel in non-science and engineering occupations who have their highest college level degree in science or engineering as of January, 1974. Information is provided on the…

Provides statistical data of female representation in college, engineering majors, and engineering careers in Italy. Discusses the reasons for choosing engineering as a major field and the difficulties of the choice. (YP)

This data brief provides statistical data about the population of scientists and engineers in the United States with doctorates from United States institutions. The report contains data related to the unemployment of scientists and engineers, employment and gender, employment and racial/ethnic identity, and employment in various sectors. The four…

This data brief features statistical data related to total science and engineering graduate enrollment in the United States for the year 1997. Featured are data on enrollment by enrollment status: 1975-1997; by sex, citizenship, and race/ethnicity: 1990-1997; and by field: 1990-1997. (DDR)

The National Science Foundation sponsored Survey of Industrial Research and Development for 1977 was conducted by the Bureau of the Census in January 1978. Approximately 1,500 R&D-performing companies participated in the survey. Remarks attributed to company officials were based on discussions with representatives from leading…

This report represents the National Science Foundation's fourth projection analysis of science and engineering doctorate supply and utilization through 1987. The 1979 study incorporates the effect of the domestic market for highly trained science and engineering (S/E) personnel upon the numbers of S/E doctorates awarded by American universities.…

This report gives the number of engineering and technology degrees for the school year ending in June 1974. Tables appear in the following order: engineering degrees (bachelor's, master's, engineer's, doctor's) and technology degrees (associate, bachelor's, certificate, master's). The engineering tables include all 284 schools known to offer…
