  3. Undergraduate Enrollment TOTAL UG ENGINEERING NON-ENG

  4. UG Enrollments ChemE is in top echelon of enrollments but has a fraction of the faculty support

  5. Campus UG / FTE Ratios

  6. Trends in Freshmen Enrollment FTE 7 7 3.5 6 9 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. Administrative Support Financial Balance, water purifier, and function generator = $25k

  8. Space resources also limit potential in ChemE

  9. Research Output • Presentations (Nat. Conf.) – 0 • Invited Talks – 1 • Publications - 0 • Proposal $’s – $380k+$80k+$115k • Grad students (5yr,MS,PhD,PD) –2,2,2,1 • Proposals (submitted/awarded) – 5/1
