Please provide any additional data and analysis that illustrates what is going on in the department (examples might include accreditation data, program data, benchmark data from national exams, course sequence completion, retention, demographic data, data on placement of graduates, graduate survey data, etc.) Most notably we have submitted to the OBOR for approval our new Associate of Applied Science in Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) degree. This will expand on our already robust program courses and certificates in UAS. We have hired a new, full-time UAS faculty member, Mr. Benjamin Sears who has been a much addition to the department. Interest in our UAS courses is steadily growing and we are seeing a nice increase in enrollment. A major realignment of the full time and adjunct faculty for the professional pilot program took place. One full time faculty member and all of the adjunct faculty flight instructors became employees of Aviation Sales, Inc. This new arraignment has created budget challenges but otherwise is working well.
