Toward the Next Century: The State of U.S. Science and Engineering.

摘要

The National Science Board (NSB) is charged with focusing national attention on major issues of science and engineering research and education. An important aspect of this responsibility is the publication of Science & Engineering Indicators, a Biennial report of data and trends on American research and education in the sciences, mathematics, and engineering. This report, submitted to Congress through the President, provides a quantitative overview of the health and achievements of the science and technology enterprise. To accompany Science & Engineering Indicators - 1993, the Board presents this statement highlighting issue that must be addressed by the Nation to maintain continued U.S. leadership in science and technology and to assure the productivity of our research and education system.
