What Should the Student/Faculty Ratios be at the Jacobs School?

External reputation and national ranking. Role of admission selectivity, student/faculty ratio on the efficiency and quality of our undergraduate education 1. Can Jacobs School reach top ten national raking without highly selective and

competitive undergraduate programs? Need to control student/faculty ratio and its repercussions on increasing class size, deteriorating personalized faculty-student advice, etc. Unmet demand for the continued training of the engineering workforce 2. Should JSOE pursue a greater focus on Master-level education?
