Characteristics of Recent Science and Engineering Graduates: 1999. Detailed Statistical Tables

摘要

This report presents data on the characteristics of men and women who received a bachelors or masters degree in a science or engineering field from U.S. academic institutions during the 1996-97 (1997) and 1997-98 (1998) academic years. The data were collected in 1999 and 2000 and reflect the status of individuals as of April 1999. In addition to the demographic characteristics of recent college graduates with science and engin-eering (S&E) degrees, the data may be used to understand the employment experiences of recent S&E graduates, such as the extent to which recent graduates entered the labor force, whether they were able to find employment, and the attributes of that employment. Results of this survey are presented separately for bachelors and masters degree recipients; complementary tables for the two degree levels are found on facing pages throughout the report.
