Foreign
Students:
The percentage of foreign
graduates in engineering has
risen steadily since 1999.
However, the percentage of
master's degrees awarded
to foreign nationals dropped
by 0.8 percent this past year.
Bachelor's degrees awarded
to foreign nationals have
remained steady during this
time.
Research
Dollars: The
amount of externally funded
research expenditures among
the 190 schools who reported
their data to ASEE totaled
$5.52 billion last year. The
$1.25 billion increase over
the past four years can be
partly explained by the fact
that 15 more schools are reporting
their data. Not surprisingly,
the federal government accounted
for most of the funding, 67
percent in 2004.

Gibbons for the American Society
for Engineering Education.
