This study examines the availability of career and technical education program areas in Tennessee high schools, concentrations (a three-or-more credit sequence in a program area) completed by 2007/08 high school graduates, and how these concentrations align with jobs in the labor market. It looks at how these outcomes differ, statewide and by…

The Career Technical Education (CTE) mission of California's community colleges is not well understood by policymakers in comparison to the transfer mission of the colleges. This exploratory study, to be followed by a more comprehensive research agenda, is motivated by the belief that CTE is a vital piece of the college completion agenda but is…

Institutions of higher education, the major source of the nation's scientists and engineers, perform about one-half of the nation's basic research. Therefore, the level, distribution, and characteristics of federal academic support are of much interest to officials at federal, state, and local levels and in nongovernmental sectors. The National…

Presents data on engineering degrees granted by institutions during 1984. Statistical categories include: highest number of degrees by state and university; disciplines; women, minorities and foreign nationals; degrees by school; and degree level for each state. Information on engineering technology degrees is also given. (DH)

Reports on the flow of faculty members to and from academic institutions. Compares data between public and private institutions and between predominantly Ph.D. versus B.S. degree producing institutions. Discusses the problems of maintaining the quality of education offered by engineering and engineering technology administrators. (YP)

Presents data from the Engineering Manpower Commission's 1983 survey of engineering technology degrees. Results indicate a 12 percent increase in associate degrees and a 9.9 percent increase in bachelor's degrees. Summaries of engineering technology degrees awarded by curriculum and degrees by school and degree level are included. (BC)

Reports data, with a few exceptions, from all colleges awarding bachelor's or higher degrees in engineering and engineering technology in the United States in 1985. Data are broken down by degree, school, curriculum, women, minorities, and foreign nationals. Eight tables summarize the data. (JM)

The number of B.S., M.S./P.E., and Ph.D. degrees in engineering and engineering technology awarded by U.S. colleges and universities is tabulated according to the following criteria: by state, by school, curriculum, type of recipient, and by school and degree level. (KR)

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…

Presents statistical data for engineering technology degrees, engineering undergraduates, and graduate degrees in 1989. Discusses trends for women, minorities, and foreign students. Includes data for many individual schools. (YP)

A survey of 470 graduates of the six engineering technology programs at Wake Technical Institute--Architectural, Chemical, Civil Engineering, Computer, Electronic Engineering, and Industrial Engineering Technologies--and 227 of their employers was conducted in October, 1979, to determine the science and mathematics topics most needed by…

Based on a January 1993 survey of 347 two-year colleges nationwide, this report describes aspects of engineering technology and science technology education and training in the nation's two-year colleges. Following introductory materials, the first chapter estimates the number of colleges offering engineering and science programs, reviews types of…

Presents and discusses data on engineering technology enrollments for all students (by curriculum and level), for women and minority groups, and for all programs (broken down by state and type of degree). Data comparing 1982 to previous years are also included. (BC)

The number of undergraduate credit hours taken in the sciences, engineering, and engineering technology, and in four major humanities fields (English, history, modern languages, and philosophy) for the fall semester, 1980-1981 was studied, based on a survey of 65 colleges and universities that are members of the American Council on Education's…

Information on the placement status of 1980 engineering and technology graduates is presented. At the doctoral degree level, the percentage without job offers or other firm plans was lower than in 1979. The bachelor's degree level experienced a one percentage point reduction in the number of graduates employed as of graduation compared to 1979,…
