ENGINEERING
ENROLLMENT
HAS INCREASED ACROSS THE BOARD
IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS, ALTHOUGH
THERE WAS A SLIGHT DOWNTURN
AT BOTH THE BACHELOR’S
AND MASTER’S LEVELS
LAST YEAR. THE LARGEST INCREASE—47
PERCENT—HAS OCCURRED
AT THE DOCTORAL LEVEL, WHERE
ENROLLMENT WAS VIRTUALLY FLAT
DURING THE PRECEDING DECADE.
FOREIGN STUDENTS STILL ACCOUNT
FOR WELL OVER HALF OF THE
ENGINEERING DOCTORAL DEGREES
AWARDED IN THE UNITED STATES
AND JUST UNDER HALF AT THE
MASTER’S LEVEL.
