Science and Engineering Indicators (2 Vol. )
Provides a broad base of quantitative info. about U.S. science, engin., and technology. Because of the spread of scientific and tech. capabilities around the world, this report presents a significant amount of material about these internat. capabilities and analyzes the U.S. position in this broader context. Contains quantitative analyses of key aspects of the scope, quality, and vitality of the Nation¿s science and engineering (S&E) enterprise. It presents info. on science, math, and engineering. educ. at all levels; the S&E workforce; U.S. internat. R&D perform. and competitiveness in high tech.; and public attitudes and understanding of S&E. Also info. on state-level S&E indicators. Presents the key themes emerging from these analyses. Illus.
National Patterns of R and D Resources (1994)
Includes: trends in national R&D support (Federal & non-Federal), U.S./international comparisons, R&D performance by sector (industry, Federal government, universities & colleges, & academically administered FFRDCs), & by state, character of R&D work (basic research, applied research, & development), R&D scientists & engineers (national estimates of R&D scientists & engineers, & surveys of doctoral scientists & engineers). Technical notes & detailed statistical tables.
Measuring the Science and Engineering Enterprise
The science and engineering enterprise has continued to evolve, responding over the last decade to increased economic globalization, a post-cold war military, federal budget fluctuations, and structural changes in the way science and engineering are conducted and innovations are adopted. This report suggests ways to revise the data collection activities of the Science Resources Studies Division (SRS) of the National Science Foundation to better capture the current realities of R&D funding and S&E human resources. The report's recommendations would improve the relevance of the data on graduate education, the labor market for scientists and engineers, and the funding and conduct of research and development, and thus better meet the data needs of policymakers, managers, and researchers.
