註釋The "Science and Engineering Indicators" series was designed to provide a broad base of quantitative information about U.S. science, engineering, and technology for use by policymakers, researchers, and the general public. "Science and Engineering Indicators 2014" contains analyses of key aspects of the scope, quality, and vitality of the Nation's science and engineering enterprise in the context of global science and technology. The report presents information on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education at all levels; the scientific and engineering workforce; U.S. and international research and development performance; U.S. competitiveness in high technology; and public attitudes and understanding of science and engineering. A chapter on state-level science and engineering enables state comparisons on selected indicators. An Overview chapter (Robert Bell, Michael Reksulak), synthesizes selected key themes emerging from the report. Chapter titles and authors are presented as follows: (1) Elementary and Secondary Mathematics and Science Education (Xianglei Chen, Robin R. Henke, Susan L. Rotermund); (2) Higher Education in Science and Engineering (Jaquelina C. Falkenheim); (3) Science and Engineering Labor Force (Beethika Khan); (4) Research and Development: National Trends and International Comparisons (Mark Boroush, Francisco A. Moris); (5) Academic Research and Development (Michael Gibbons, Katherine Hale, Derek Hill, NCSES; Kim Hamilton); (6) Industry, Technology, and the Global Marketplace (Derek Hill); (7) Science and Technology: Public Attitudes and Understanding (John Besley); and (8) State Indicators (Nirmala Kannankutty, Christina Freyman, Paula C. Dunnigan). Each chapter consists of contents and lists of sidebars, text tables, and figures; highlights; introduction (chapter overview and chapter organization); a narrative synthesis of data and related contextual information; conclusion; notes; glossary; and references. The appendix provides the Methodology and Statistics, and a list of appendix tables. An index is also included.
