RPI CS Enrollment decline?

<p>Everything I have read and people I have talked to say CS is the place to be with all the new platforms evolving. Hardware people, academics, articles I read all say CS is growing. I was originally trying to talk my son into CpE because you get hardware and software out of it, but after enough data and him preferring CS, I am behind him. That is why I was astonished to see numbers flat the past few years and dropped before that. But splitting out IT and Web to its own department would easily explain it.</p>
