Goals Study 1963 - 1968

Close on the heels of the PSAC Report, the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) initiated the study, Goals of Engineering Education - The "Goals Study" - is probably the most ambitious, authoritative, and comprehensive study of engineering education ever undertaken. However, it suffered the misfortune of having been compiled during the very crest of the growth wave stimulated by the PSAC Report. As a result, it followed the 

prevailing philosophy of the time, used the latest data available (1966), and projected that the growth trends in engineering education would continue; it did so almost precisely at the time that the growth was in fact on the verge of being reversed.

Seven uniformed services

The United States has seven federal uniformed services that commission officers as defined by Title 10, and subsequently structured and organized by Title 10, Title 14, Title 42 and Title 33 of the  United States Code.

The seven uniformed services are, in order of precedence by ceremonial formation:

1. United States Army
2. United States Marine Corps
3. United States Navy
4. United States Air Force
5. United States Coast Guard
6. United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps
7. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Corps

Each of the uniformed services is (except the United States Marine Corps) administratively headed by a federal executive department and its corresponding civilian Cabinet leader.
