Enrollment Data
• Simple average charts compare the average enrollments for each year based on the number of universities that responded. No weighting to accommodate different response patterns is attempted.
• “Select” average charts compare the average enrollments for each year based on those of the 33 “select” universities that have responded consistently over the last 20 years.
• For 2015, these data are sorted primarily upon Aero data, even for most combined departments. (There were 27 mixed departments responding and all but one were able to separate U/G data between Aero and others; numbers vary for students and faculty).

Some issues with interpreting reports that give Aero and Mixed data for same school

Questions / Improvement Suggestions
• Some ambiguity in interpreting data for “Mixed” programs – students numbers are probably OK, faculty numbers less certain
• Post Brief on NIA or ADCA website? Both?
• What other data do you want to see? Email Colin Britcher
• Charts are now capped at a 25 year look-back window, although prior data is retained
• Check all programs to ensure continued viability?
• Expand to include more international programs?
