Re: US Engineers Undercounted

Also, something interesting I noted in the appendix, under USA Data, page 1 of 4 (3rd page of the PDF), under the field of study "Computer..." the U.S. apparently graduated 0 (zip, nada, not one) person under the "Artificial intellegence and robotics" heading. Is something wrong with the data or is FIRST failing somewhere? I really can't believe 0.

It's probably because it's such a weird degree to obtain that it is hard to track the information on it.

They have collected a lot of the data, I cannot specify how they did the collection though - some day I'll be bored enough to read through all their info. But using their info, it was about 59,000 in 2003. I know I've spouted off those numbers that FIRST (Dean, et al) gives us but I felt the NCES.ed.gov backed them up enough. Hmmm??

Depends on what you count as an engineer..... Counting people who graduate with an engineering technology degree probably does bump the number up. (I still have no idea what they do  )
