International Benchmarking of U.S. Chemical Engineering Research Competitiveness
Appendix A
Statement of Task
At the request of the National Science Foundation Engineering Directorate, the National Academies will perform an international benchmarking exercise to determine the standing of the U.S. research enterprise relative to its international peers in the fields of chemical engineering. The benchmarking exercise will address the following:
What is the position of U.S. research in chemical engineering relative to that in other regions or countries?
What are the key factors influencing relative U.S. performance in chemical engineering (i.e., human resources, equipment, infrastructure, etc.)?
On the basis of current trends in the United States and worldwide, extrapolate to the U.S. relative position in the near and longer-term future.
Below are the first 10 and last 10 pages of uncorrected machine-read text (when available) of this chapter, followed by the top 30 algorithmically extracted key phrases from the chapter as a whole. Intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text on the opening pages of each chapter.
Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.
