This report presents the results of the eighth annual survey of Nuclear Engineering Enrollments and Degrees. Each year the survey is sent to institutions offering degrees in nuclear engineering or other engineering disciplines with nuclear engineering options. Although the number of institutions included may vary from year to year, historical information about degrees granted since July 1966 has been collected for all institutions. Over the past few years there have been significant perturbations in the supply of new engineers with nuclear expertise caused by many factors, such as the general decline in engineering enrollments, concern about involvement in nuclear activities, and uncertainty about a nuclear power future. This series of nuclear engineering enrollment and degree surveys has charted the changes in the supply of professional nuclear personnel and assisted planners and educators alike in preparing to provide for this needed energy resource. Data are presented on enrollments and degrees, placement of graduates, women and minorities, foreign nationals, and regional distribution. 1 figure, 11 tables. (RWR)
