5. Enrollment Trends - Entering Freshmen 2000 - 254 Entering Freshmen 2005 - 279 2006 - 282 2007 - 240 2000 - 72% NM Residents (74/26 M/F) 2005 - 84% NM Residents (lottery effect?) (71/29 M/F) 2006 - 83% 2007 - 85% 2000 - 26 % Native American / Hispanic 2005 - 26 % 2006 - 28.7% (w/ 26+% Hispanic) 2007 - 29.2 % ( w 27.9% Hispanic) - may soon qualify as Hispanic serving institution 2000 - 41% Top tenth of class (9% bottom half) 2005 - 41% Top tenth of class (12% bottom half) 2006 - 32% Top tenth (11% bottom half) 2007 - 31% Top tenth (9 % bottom half) Watch this in future

6. Average NMT ACT Composite Score

7. Enrollment Trends

9. Expect slight decline in graduates over next couple years

10. May be softened by transfers

11. UG Enrollments 7 7 9 6 12 3.5 FTE ChemE is in top echelon of enrollments but has a fraction of the faculty support 5

12. Campus UG / FTE Ratios For the past 6 Years ChemE has operated with double the Tech Student to Faculty Ratio Average of 11:1

13. Trends in Freshmen Enrollment Trends clearly indicate that ChemE will have roughly the same number of students as EE, Physics, and BIOL with less than half of the faculty support 7 7 9 6 12 3.5 FTE

16. 2005 2005 Engineering UG / FTE Ratios ABET: Institutional strengths of low student to faculty ratios not part of Chemical and Mechanical educational experience

17. 2006 2006 Engineering UG / FTE Ratios High Student to Faculty Ratios Still Not Addressed w/ New Faculty in Fall 2007

18. 2007 2007 Engineering UG / FTE Ratios No Engineering Faculty Searches Currently Open 2 Electrical Positions Opened-Filled in Spring 2007

19. 2005 Observed TRENDS Disparity of Faculty Resources Only current searches CS and Physics w/ 2 EE slots filled in 2007 In 3 years (2008) EE and Physics Dept’s will be roughly the same UG size as ChemE, both have 2 to 3 times as the number of faculty than that in ChemE

20. In 3 years (2008) EE and Physics Dept’s will be roughly the same UG size as ChemE, both have 2 to 3 times as the number of faculty than that in ChemE 2005 Freshmen enrollment holds key to predicting future major size

21. TRENDS 2006 In 3 years (2008) EE and Physics Dept’s will be roughly the same UG size as ChemE, both have 2 to 3 times the number of faculty than that in ChemE Freshmen enrollment holds key to predicting future major size

22. TRENDS 2007 In 3 years (2008) EE and Physics Dept’s will be roughly the same UG size as ChemE, both have 2 to 3 times the number of faculty than that in ChemE Freshmen enrollment holds key to predicting future major size

23. Distribution of Teaching (Credit Hours) 2004: 300-400 level credits increasing, grad in decline 2004 Goal: Increase grad credit hrs to 90/yr by Fall 2006: Met Goal 06-07 Expected to have low grad credits

24. 7 year avg: FTE/Budget = 142% in an UG non-service program! % of Graduate Cycles with Maturation of Faculty Budget and FTE Return As of 2005-06, fringe benefits have been added to overall budgets. Thus 100% return is the true measure of FTE solvency. ?

25. Administrative Support Financial 2 new engineering programs w/ capital needs

26. new faculty coming on line Funding outlook looks solid Research Expenditures per FTE

27. W/ 2.5 FTE W/ 3.5 FTE High Bay 136- 236 No New Space Allocated since 2000 2.5 FTE in 2000 3.5 FTE in 2006 5 years: Most productive Engineering Research Program on Campus Smallest Science & Engr Space Allocation on Campus No other UG facilities reside off campus except ChemE Need Space.

28. Space resources also limit potential in ChemE

32. Summary for 2007 add FTE and consolidate labs. Let’s make this happen. Demonstrated Commitment to Goals of the Institute

33. Recommended Actions: Department for 2005 1. Carry Over: Carry out plan to increase “bodies” involved with Chemical Engineering students (FTE = 4.0) Owner Weinkauf/Gerity 2.

36. Educational Objectives

38. Recommended Actions: Educational Objectives for 2006 1.Adjust the curriculum to reinforce students exposure to Numerical Methods in the Junior and Senior years. (Owner: Jeon) Not Met 2.Incorporate Design of Experiments into the Unit Operations Laboratory. Evaluate two lab senior year (Owners: Dong /Sharma) Met 3.Learn from other schools effective methods of teaching assessment and modes to improve teaching effectiveness (Owner: Weinkauf) Not Met 4.Provide a more complete examination of the low FE exam scores in key Chemical Engineering areas (Owner: ChE Faculty) Met 5.Conduct the scheduled 5-10 year review of alumni and gage success of Educational Objective #4 (Owner: Weinkauf). Not Met

40. 2003-05 FE Exam ChemE Results Comparison with Univ. of S. Alabama (required) Historically Tech ChemE’s pass at 71% rate Historically Univ. S. Alabama (6 yr. ABET accreditation) - 71% 2004 -2006 ChemE’s 71 % pass rate. Blue = NMT Peach = NMT + USAla

41. Total ChemE FE Results thru 2005 Comparison with Univ. of S. Alabama (required) Blue = NMT Peach = NMT + USAla ChemE’s Pass on morning results.

42. Total ChemE FE Results thru 2006 Comparison with Univ. of S. Alabama (required) Blue = NMT Peach = NMT + USAla 40 examinees… clear trends emerging..

43. Recommended Actions: Educational Objectives for 2008 1.Revise Reaction Kinetics Course with eye on poor performance in FE exams as well as look for opportunities to reinforce numerical methods. (Owner: Leclerc) 2.Complete evaluation of ChemE Laboratory sequence to reinforce transport concepts. Evaluate two lab senior year (Owners: All Faculty ) 3.Learn from other schools effective methods of teaching assessment and modes to improve teaching effectiveness (Owner: Weinkauf) Carry Over 4.Conduct the scheduled 5-10 year review of alumni and gage success of Educational Objective #4 (Owner: Faculty and Staff). 5.Design and Implement ChE 110 - Intro course with assessment eyes on retention.
