U.S. Data was drawn from the ASEE data mining tool over a threeyear period (2010-2012) for 186 colleges of engineering. A non-dominated set of 24 efficientengineering colleges was identified and compare with the set of less efficient colleges. Therelationship between the level of funded research and PhD production is the same for theefficient and less efficient programs. There is a marked difference between the efficient set andothers in the relationship between BS and MS production and funded research. In the lessefficient programs, there appears to be no relationship between the number of degrees grantedand the amount of research funding.
