Engineering degrees increased
at all levels between 1999
and 2004, thanks in part to
computer science degrees,
which have experienced strong
growth. Last year, 8,152 bachelor’s
degrees in computer science
were awarded, along with 5,797
master’s degrees and
494 Ph.D.s. Degrees in some
disciplines have declined,
including civil and chemical
engineering, although it’s
believed that some students
who previously would have
majored in chemical have chosen
biomedical instead.
