Ninety percent (90%) of those surveyed currently work as engineers, 9% presently work outside the engineering field, and 1% were unemployed (and seeking employment in an engineering field).   

Ninety-seven percent (97%) of respondents hold Bachelor's Degrees in multiple engineering and other degree programs from 19 countries with most (93%) degrees obtained from the United States.  Forty-nine (49%) earned Master's Degrees and 14% hold PhD degrees from institutions in the United States, Canada, Russian Federation and Sweden.
