Abstract	The findings of four independent surveys on various trends in science and engineering (S/E) in the United States are presented in these reports. The first report contains findings obtained from institutions granting a graduate science or engineering degree and/or performing at least $50,000 in separately budgeted research and development (R&D) activities on expenditures in FY 1984. Academic R&D spending rose in each major S/E field in 1984. The second report presents data on the employment of foreign scientists and engineers in U.S. industry which was obtained from a telephone survey of 152 large firms (Fortune 500) and 150 other firms. One-half of the firms utilized foreign scientists and engineers. Results of a survey of graduate S/E students and postdoctorates are discussed in the third report. In 1984 graduate S/E enrollment showed the smallest increase since 1977. The fourth report states that the number of S/E doctorates awarded in 1985 was slightly greater than in 1984, but below the peak reached in 1972. Women continued to increase their representation among S/E doctorates, but not as rapidly as in the seventies and early eighties. (ML)
