About RF Cafe
Copyright: 1996 - 2024 Web BSEE - KB3UON RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived... All trademarks, copyrights, patents, and other rights of ownership to images

The Dumbing Down of America The 2002 Survey of Earned Doctorates (NSF) reports that the number of doctorates awarded by American universities (39,955) continues to drop from the 1998 high. Most of the decline occurred in science & engineering (S&E). Research doctorates are conferred by 413 universities in the U.S. and PR. In 1998, 27,283 doctorates were awarded in S&E, then down to 24,558 by 2002. The percentage of Ph.D.s going to American citizens was 81% for the humanities, 55% for the physical sciences, and a mere 39% in engineering. This means that about half of the doctorates are awarded to foreign students. Women represented 45% of all doctorates awarded - the first time women earned the majority of research Ph.D.s amongst U.S. citizens. The top five countries whose students earned Ph.D.s in S&E in 2002 out of the 15,479 total (just 506 in EE) were China with 2,395, South Korea a distant second at 854, then India with 678, Taiwan with 469 and Canada at 312. |
