Overall acceptance rate for the College of Engineering may be 22%, but SLO admits by major and there are different acceptance rates for each Engineering discipline with CS being the most competitive.
SLO publishes their projection/targets for each in-coming student class. If you assume a 33% yield for each Engineering major, then this is how you calculate approx. acceptance rate for each major.
FTF TARGET X 3/FTF APPS= 100X3/5297= 5.66%
This is probably a better estimate than the overall 22%.
