The Nelson Surveys determine national faculty demographics in the 'top 100' departments in each of 15 science and engineering disciplines.  These surveys have been carried out four times over the last 10 years -- FY2002, FT2005, FY2007, FY2012.  Each was conducted by using the same methodology, which enables a valid comparison of demographics over this 10-year time period.  This comparison will be presented, and results for disciplines will be compared and contrasted.
