Continuing and expanding the Navy Summer Faculty Research Program (NSFRP) conducted for the Office of Naval Research by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) previously in the summers of 1979, 1980, and 1981, the NSFRP program in 1982 brought 97 faculty members from United States colleges and universities to 10 Navy laboratories for 10 weeks cooperative summer research between the NSFRP participants and scientists at the laboratories working in areas of mutual interest to both parties. As in the earlier years the objectives of the NSFRP program in 1981 were: 1) To engage university faculty members in the research programs of the participating Naval laboratories; 2) To develop a basis for continuing research of interest to the Navy at the participating faculty members institutions; 3) To establish continuing relations among faculty members and their professional peers in the Navy laboratories; and 4) To enhance the research interests and capability of the science and engineering faculty members taking part in the Navy program. Disciplines covered in the research ranged from medical and personnel research to topics in physics, chemistry, computer science and the several branches of engineering and applied mathematics and statistics. Abstracts of 91 reports are presented in this document.

This thesis develops multivariate models to estimate the effects of undergraduate academic performance and fully-funded graduate education on promotion to the ranks of Commander (0-5) and Captain (0-6) in the U. S. Navy. Using data extracted from the Officer Promotion History Files, two sample populations were selected for analysis: officers who appeared before the Commander promotion boards between fiscal years 1981 and 1994, and those who appeared before the Captain promotion boards during this same period. These data sets were further categorized into five warfare communities and two separate time periods; the period between 1981-1989 (the pre-drawdown), and the period between 1990-1994 (the drawdown). Ordinary least squares (OLS) and maximum likelihood log it regression models were employed to estimate the probability of being promoted to these two ranks. The findings reveal that graduate education and academic performance have positive effects on promotion probability for some, but not all, of the communities over the various time periods. Recommendations for further study are included.
