Abstract	This report presents an analysis of public and leadership opinion survey data about engineering and technology over the past 10-15 years. It examines public attitudes toward technology and engineering, and provides implications about views concerning specific issues related to these general subjects. The volume is organized thematically, into sections, which include: (1) the public's perception of engineering; (2) the importance of technology in the United States; (3) the perceived quality of U.S. products versus foreign products; (4) technological development and protectionism; (5) technological investment and business; (6) technology and the federal government; (7) technology, the Strategic Defense Initiative, and space exploration; and (8) public views of technology. Within each section, detailed observations provide further analytic interpretation. Written analyses and interpretations are interspersed with tabular material that generally presents data in chronological order to support the conclusions. (TW)
