This report is concerned with graduate science and engineering education, particularly dealing with enrollment and with sources of funding. Drawn from the survey of Graduate Science Student Support, analyses reveal distributions of full-time graduate students by source of major support and changing patterns in support and utilization of graduate…

The data presented in this book are derived from the Fall 1999 National Science Foundation/National Institute of Health (NSF/NIH) Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering. The published data represent estimates of total enrollment in science and engineering programs in approximately 11,833 graduate departments at…

The data presented in this summary (released in advance of their publication) are derived from four surveys of academic science and engineering (S/E) activities conducted anually by the National Science Foundation's Division of Science Resources Studies, Universities, and Nonprofit Institutions Studies Groups: (1) Survey of Scientific and…

Data presented in the tables of this document are derived from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering taken in the fall of 1996. All eligible institutions are included in the survey for the years 1988-96. From 1984-87, the survey design…

This is the third annual survey of total graduate and postdoctoral enrollment in science and engineering in the United States. Data elements collected from 7,505 departments of 355 Ph.D.-granting institutions include: enrollment status (full and part-time); level of study (first year and beyond first year); citizenship; sex of students; type…

Summarizes the findings of a National Science Foundation study of academic science from 1972-1981 which surveyed universities and colleges for information on research and development spending, employment of scientists and engineers, and science and engineering graduate enrollment and postdoctorates.

This report profiles the demographic and employment characteristics of doctorate-level scientists and engineers in the United States. The data presented were collected through the 1995 Survey of Doctorate Recipients (SDR). The purpose of the SDR is to estimate the number of people holding research doctorates from U.S. institutions in science and…

This is the 1975 National Science Foundation (NSF) annual survey of total graduate and postdoctoral enrollment in science and engineering in the United States. Data elements collected from 7,664 departments of 354 Ph.D. granting institutions include: (1) enrollment status (full and part-time); (2) level of study (first year and beyond first year);…

The 108 tables printed in this volume provide data on the support of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in all areas of science and engineering for the year 1973. The data were collected from 339 institutions offering 5,683 doctoral programs in science and 876 masters-only programs. Data are organized to show the sources of support for…

This report presents data on the demographic and employment characteristics of the nation's doctoral scientists and engineers. Data were developed as part of the Longitudinal Doctorate Project. Current information on the supply and utilization of doctoral personnel in science and engineering reflects the results of the 1997 Survey of Doctorate…

This publication describes the characteristics of a database developed from a Fall 1992 survey of graduate students and post-doctorates in science and engineering. The survey universe included 333 doctorate-granting institutions and 275 master's-granting institutions. Section 1 offers general notes on data limitations and availability and a…

This report looks at trends from 1973 to 1993 in new science and engineering doctoral degree recipients' post-graduation plans in order to note changes in the proportion planning postdoctoral appointments (postdocs). Examination of this question found that between 1973 and 1993 the proportion of doctoral graduates with "definite plans" at the time…

Presented are highlights from the Survey of Earned Doctorates, focusing on: trends in doctorate production by field, sex, and citizenship; employment of science and engineering (S/E) doctorates; and science and mathematics education doctorates. Approximately 95 percent of the 1982 recipients of the Ph.D. and similar doctorates responded to a…

The 11th Annual Survey of Graduate Science and Engineering Students and Postdoctorates requested data from all institutions of higher education in the United States in which there was at least one science or engineering program leading to a master's or doctoral degree, including medical schools and other components granting first-professional…

Data collected in the National Science Foundation's Survey of Graduate Science and Engineering (S/E) Students and Postdoctorates, fall 1987 are presented. The survey noted that foreign students account for about one seventh of all students enrolled in graduate S/E programs. Graduate S/E enrollment in all institutions is up 1% from the previous…
