Book Description
A study was undertaken that investigated the relationship between the use of U.S. government technical reports by U.S. aerospace engineers and scientists and selected institutional and sociometric variables. Survey research is the methodology used for the study. Data were collected by means of a self- administered mail questionnaire. The approximately 34 000 members of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) served as the study population. The response rate for the survey was 70 percent. A dependent relationship was found to exist between the use of U.S. government technical reports and three of the institutional variables (academic preparation, years of professional aerospace work experience, and technical discipline). The use of U.S. government technical reports was found to be independent of all of the sociometric variables. The institutional variables best explain the use of U.S. government technical reports by U.S. aerospace engineers and scientists.

Book Description
The U.S. government technical report is a primary means by which the results of federally funded research and development (R & D) are transferred to the U.S. aerospace industry. However, little is known about this information product in terms of its actual use, importance, and value in the transfer of federally funded R & D. Little is also known about the intermediary-based system that is used to transfer the results of federally funded R & D to the U.S. aerospace industry. To help establish a body of knowledge, the U.S. government technical report is being investigated as part of the NASA/DoD Aerospace Knowledge Diffusion Research Project. In this report, we summarize the literature on technical reports, present a model that depicts the transfer of federally funded aerospace R & D via the U.S. government technical report, and present the results of research that investigated aerospace knowledge diffusion 'vis-a-vis' the technical communication practices of U.S. aerospace engineers and scientists who were members of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Book Description
Although the U.S. aerospace industry continues to be the leading positive contributor to the balance of trade among all merchandise industries, it is experiencing significant changes whose implications may not be well understood. Increasing U.S. collaboration with foreign producers will result in a more international manufacturing environment, which will allow for a more rapid diffusion of technology, increasing pressure on U.S. aerospace companies to push forward with new technological developments, and to make steps designed to maximize the inclusion of recent technological developments into the research and development (R and D) process. To remain a world leader in aerospace, the U.S. must take the steps necessary to improve and maintain the professional competency of aerospace engineers and scientists, and enhance innovation and productivity. How well these objectives are met, and at what cost, depends on a variety of factors, but largely on the ability of aerospace engineers and scientists to acquire and process the results of NASA/DoD funded R and D. The ability of U.S. aerospace engineers and scientists to identify, acquire, and use scientific and technical information (STI) is of paramount importance to the efficiency of the R and D process. Testimony to the central role of STI in the R and D process is found in numerous studies (Fischer, 1980). These studies show, among other things, that U.S. aerospace engineers and scientists devote more time, on the average, to the communication of technical information than to any other scientific or technical activity (Pinelli, et al., 1989).
