Trends in science and engineering (S/E) bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees awarded from 1950 to 1970 are summarized in this report. Major findings demonstrate that: (1) the number of S/E degrees awarded annually is now below the levels reached in the early to mid-seventies and that this recent decline follows a long uptrend that began in the mid-fifties; (2) the S/E share of all degrees fell during the last decade in all degree levels and whereas S/E fields accounted for about 60% of all doctorates until 1969, they now account for only 50%; (3) women have earned an increasingly large share of S/E degrees at all levels since 1950; and (4) the trends in the number of degrees are affected by changes in the relevant populations (demographic factors) and also non-demographic factors.
