Nuclear engineering enrollments and degrees, 1987
The ''Nuclear Engineering Enrollments and Degrees Survey, 1987'' was sent to 61 institutions with programs offering (1) a major in nuclear engineering or (2) an option in another engineering discipline (e.g., mechanical or chemical) with course work equivalent to a major in nuclear engineering that prepares graduates to function as nuclear engineers. Of the 61 institutions, numbers for one program were estimated based on past years' enrollments and degrees, and one institutions undergraduate program was reported as inapplicable. Four programs have been suspended; one awarded the last degrees in 1986, and three others suspended new enrollments but are allowing the current students to complete degrees. The number of nuclear engineering undergraduates and master's enrollments decreased in 1987; undergraduates by 37 students (3 percent) and master's by 13 students (2 percent). Sixteen institutions increased their doctoral enrollments by a total of 83 students, while other programs had decreases totaling 19 students, resulting in an overall increase of 64 doctoral students (12 percent). The total number of undergraduate degrees decreased by 63 students, or 11 percent. Doctoral degrees also decreased, by 23 students or 19 percent. Master's degree rose by 12, or by 4 percent.
