  11. Some Good News • Enrollments continue to grow • First AE grad students enrolled • Two new AE faculty hired as of Fall 2010 (now have 4 AE faculty) • Dr. Ma - $1.5M NSF grant for reduced gravity training & medical rehabilitation • STEAM Tutor program doing well (5 tutors per semester) • Now have a strong group of research faculty who are making significant progress

  12. Some Threats • Low BS graduation rate • Not enough AE faculty (need 6-7, have 4) • Undergraduate enrollment very high; too many students who don’t make it • Aerospace funding – NMT “share” of state funding is potentially devastating • State budget cuts (but we are better off than many state universities)

  13. Opportunities/Strengths/MAEA • Goal: To be the best department in CoE – we are getting closer every year • Aerospace capstone design – build around competitions with MAEA help(?) • STEAM club is working – need to keep at it • Strong backbone of excellent young faculty bodes well for future • We have credibility that allows us to try to change the NMSU culture to be nationally competitive
