Recruitment and Retention of Full-Time Engineering Faculty, Fall 1980

摘要

The survey instrument was mailed to a panel of 181 universities and four-year colleges that in 1979 had at least one engineering program accredited by the Engineers' Council of Professional Development. Engineering deans were asked to provide, by specific engineering field, information on faculty vacancies, perceptions about competition with industry and opinions regarding the effect of any difficulty in recruiting or retaining engineering faculty. Responses from 159 institutions (88 percent of those surveyed) were statistically adjusted to represent the national population of 244 universities and colleges with accredited engineering programs.
