From page 33... ... For 10 of the measures, data are reported for at least 69 of the 79 chemical engineering programs. For measures 04-07, which pertain to characteristics of the program graduates, data are presented for only approximately threefourths of the programs; the other fourth had too few graduates on which to base statistics.4 For measure 12, a composite index of the Data from the NRC's Survey of Earned Doctorates indicate that 1,453 research doctorates in chemical engineering were awarded by U.S. Read the entire page →
From page 34... ... These individuals constituted 69 percent of those asked to respond to the survey in this discipline and 17 percent of the faculty population in the 79 researchdoctorate programs being evaluated.s More than one-third of the survey participants had earned their highest degree since 1970, and a majority held the rank of full professor. To assist the reader in interpreting results of the survey evaluations, estimated standard errors have been computed for mean ratings of the scholarly quality of faculty in 79 chemical engineering programs (and are given in Table 3.1~.

From page 35... ... 35 of the mean ratings of higher-rated programs than lower-rated programs This generalization results primarily from the fact that evaluators are not as likely to be familiar with the less prestigious-programs, and consequently the mean ratings of these programs are usually based on fewer survey responses.
