Missouri’s 2005 Student Funnelfor All Engineering Fields • Public High School Seniors Cohort: 67,074 • Public High School Graduates: 57,495 • All ACT Testers/College Bound: 42,705 • Any Engineering Interest, all scores: 1,519 • Engineering Interest, +21 comp. score: 1,028 (21 = MO average score / 50%) • Engineering Interest, +24 comp. score: 769 (24 = UM minimum for auto admission) • UMR’s Freshmen Engineering Majors 560 from Missouri

  5. Trends in Engineering (<5%)

  6. Name Recognition AmongCollege-Bound StudentsOutside of Missouri • Even with the increased recruiting efforts since 2000, of the more than 1.1 million ACT testers in 2006, only 551 non-Missouri high school seniors sent ACT scores to UMR. • 238 of the 551 out-of-state ACT scores were from students interested in engineering. • UMR is 9th in Missouri for number of ACT scores received from out-of-state students.

  7. Average enrollment is 6,457 Average enrollment is 29,391

  8. The Arts and Sciences departments are critically important to the future of our University.

  9. Arts and Sciences • UMR hired a total of 18 new tenure track faculty members in FY06 and FY07. • 8 tenure track hires were in Arts and Sciences, including English, Philosophy, and Psychology • Currently searching for tenure track faculty in Computer Science, History, Spanish, and Technical Communication • This years’ A&S budget has been supplemented by over $890,000 • Potential graduate programs

  10. Interesting Fact: Outstanding programs in Business, Economics, English, Finance, History, Management Information Systems, Psychology, etc. exist at technological research universities. Examples: • Massachusetts Institute of Technology • Georgia Institute of Technology • Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
