Prom the 2l±l questionnaires mailed out, 127 returns
were received. Among the 127 returns, seven had to be
voided for reasons such as wrong address, absence of

After subtracting the voided questionnaires from
the total number of envelopes mailed out, the 120 valid
replies represented a £1.3 per cent return* However, an
assumption was made that twenty-two questionnaires which
did not specify the major field in which the degree was
earned but gave the years of graduation only, emanated
from persons who have an engineering degree* This assump-tion
was based on the original list from which respondents
were chosen, and on incidental evidence of engineering
activities in the body of these questionnaires. The fact
