   Recently the Dwight Look College of Engineering announced a plan to increase enrollment from 10,000 to 25,000 by 2025.  As they say everything is or 'must be' bigger in Texas.  In a press release posted on the web, 25 by 25, they cited research conducted by the Texas Workforce Commision.  The research predicts a "19 percent growth in engineering jobs" within the state.  Thus the school believes in increasing enrollment to fill in this predicted void.
   As a current student, I am a little ambivalent on this goal.  25,000 does sound impressive, but is the school emphasizing quantity over quality?  Will increasing enrollment place more strain on both teachers and classroom resources?  Now the press release says that the school will pause this plan in the next twelve years if it perceives a drop in the quality of education. But at the current level of enrollment, I feel there is already a strain on these resources.  I've been in lab where not all the equipment worked.  This resulted either in long frustrating hours troublehsooting my work or forming groups of students to share on piece of lab equipment. 
   Also where do they see this projected growth in the demand of engineers?  Right now the workforce seems to be saturated with new graduates.  The perception I get from potential employers is one of snobbery because they often overlook your past accomplishments and reduce your resume to a simple number.  They have the upper hand in the market.  So I don't think increasing an already high supply of graduates will help the situation.  Maybe it will ensure that only the best and brightest recieve employment but that means time and money for the rest of us.
   What are your opinions? Is the school's goal of increasing enrollment worthwhile or misguided?
