REPORT BY THE U. S.



General Accounting Office








No Federal Programs Are Designed

Primarily To Support Engineering

Education, But Many Do




GAO describes Federal civilian agency sup-
port for engineering education in 1980. The
support is placed in categories, current
concerns about the supply of engineers and
conditions of engineering schools are relat-
ed to the support, and the changes made by
the FY 1982 budget are identified.

GAO found that 38 programs in 11 Federal
agencies provided more than $240 million
for engineering education in 1980. About
79 percent of this was from the U.S. Depart-
ment of Education's Student Financial Assis-
tance program. None of the programs were
primarily intended to support engineering
education.

Most Federal funding was related to con-
cerns about the supply of engineers. Com-
paratively little was related to how well the
engineering schools are doing.

FY 1982 funding should not substantially
change the general character of Federal
support although funding levels for individ-
ual programs may be significantly altered.
