WebCASPAR Database and Videos
Interested in learning more about national
data on science and engineering education in the United States? The
National Science Foundation offers two databases on science and engineering
in higher education at U.S. postsecondary institutions: SESTAT, which
stands for Scientists and Engineers Statistical Data System, captures
information about employment, educational, and demographic characteristics
of scientists and engineers in the United States. The data are collected
from three surveys: the National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG),
the National Survey of Recent College Graduates (NSRCG), and the Survey
of Doctorate Recipients (SDR).
The WebCASPAR database provides easy
access to a large body of statistical data resources for science and
engineering at U.S. academic institutions. WebCASPAR emphasizes science
and engineering, but its data resources also provide information on
non-S&E fields and higher education in general.
