A survey on the health of mass properties engineering in the marine
field was conducted using the Internet to gather demographic, job satis-
faction, industry health, and SAWE specific data. The survey consisted of
20 multiple choice, ranking, and fill-in questions. This paper presents the
summary of the data received (139 respondents) for each question and
examines some correlations between age, employers, expected attrition,
and membership in the SAWE. Selected narrative answers are shown in
the body of the paper with all text responses included in the Appendix.
