Abstract | This report is based on a survey of the National Science Foundation's Industrial Panel on Science and Technology. The panel comes from essentially all major types of industry involved in research and development (R&D) and covers a wide range of firms and cooperations. The findings of the survey show that almost one-half of those who responded to the survey reported that, since 1970, their firms have increased the proportion of Ph.D.s among those hired for R&D activities. The most often cited reasons for this change in hiring practices were: (1) industrial technology has become more complex, and (2) more science and engineering Ph.D.s have been available for work in industry. The findings also show that about 30% of the respondents expect their firms to increase the proportion of R&D employees who have doctorates while only 3% anticipated a drop. Tabulated data present distribution of responses from directors of industrial research and development on past and anticipated proportions of employees who have doctorates. (Author/HM) |
