the numbers of AES freshman are continuing to climb. Nothing huge but slow steady growth. That means that the old pattern of AES having more students in junior or senior status, but few freshmen or sophomores... that old pattern is changing to a more level number of students in each grade class. By the way , more majors have an enrollment curve that is inverted from ours.
roll out of the new program - eg, there is a lot of interest in the freshmen in the CS concentration. I didn't expect that but that what may be emerging.
