The increased presence of foreign students in grad. science and eng. (S&E) programs and in the scientific workforce has been and continues to be of concern. Enrollment of U.S. citizens in grad. S&E programs has not kept pace with that of foreign students in those programs. In addition to the number of foreign students in grad. S&E programs, a significant number of univ. faculty in the scientific disciplines are foreign, and foreign doctorates are employed in large numbers by industry. Contents of this report: Foreign Students in U.S. Institutions; Participation Rates in S&E; Support of Foreign Students in Grad. School; Perceived Benefits and Problems; Foreign Scientists and Engineers in the U.S. Labor Force; Policy Implications. Illus.
