Describes a mathematical salary-growth model which serves as the basis of an objective conversion procedure (providing a more equitable merit-pay plan). Also demonstrates how this procedure was used and discusses additional benefits (particularly pertinent to institutions using arbitrary criteria to determine pay increments and have lock-step…

Data are presented from a survey of engineering colleges throughout the U.S. The data are categorized according to geographical regions. Information is presented on campus costs, engineering department costs, faculty salaries, student enrollment, curricular costs, and facilities and equipment. (BB)

Discusses rationale for and emphasis of Brigham Young University's four-year program leading to bachelor's of electronics engineering technology (BSET). Also discusses job market response to the program and salaries of program graduates. A preliminary survey of May 1982 graduates showed that each BSET graduate received from one to six job offers.…

Reports 1976-77 survey data of campus cost, student enrollment, faculty, operating funds, faculty salaries, and faculty resignations for engineering schools by geographic region of the United States. (SL)

Presents data and projections regarding current salaries and vacancies in the engineering education field. Itemizes factors affecting faculty supply and demand. (CS).

Predictions of a severe shortage of engineers are not confirmed by an analysis of defense spending and salary trends. Data are provided and discussed for defense budget, engineering demand, attritions/layoffs, bachelor's salaries in selected industries, effect of research and development pool of engineers, and influence of starting salaries. (JN)

Briefly describes the bachelor's and master's program in the Department of Engineering Management (University of Missouri--Rolla) and provides results of a survey of their engineering management graduates. Areas examined include salaries and types of entry/present level employment positions for both bachelor's and master's graduates. (JN)

Faculty shortages, antiquated laboratory equipment, and precollege preparation have been identified as components on the engineering education crisis. An examination of these and other areas (including salaries and doctoral programs) indicates that it is absurd to ascribe crisis to the problems afflicting engineering education. (Author/JN)

Presents results of a survey designed to assess impact of faculty shortages on quality of engineering education, determine additional faculty needed to maintain/restore quality to engineering programs, determine increase/decreases of graduate students, and identify engineering areas in which it is difficult to attract faculty.
