Description

The Food and Agricultural Education Information System (FAEIS) compiles nationwide higher education data for agriculture, forestry and natural resources and other related disciplines. Data include undergraduate and graduate student enrollment and degrees awarded, graduate placement, and faculty headcounts and salaries by rank and discipline. Recently FAEIS has partnered with the National Association of University Forest Resources Programs (NAUFRP) to meet reporting needs for the organization. FAEIS is used by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in responding to Congressional inquiries to support higher education and related USDA programs. Higher education administrators use FAEIS data in recruiting and benchmarking students and faculty, as well as institutional planning, and regional and national comparisons. Faculty use FAEIS for USDA - NIFA grant proposals. This session will provide faculty and administrators an opportunity to review the features of FAEIS and to discuss future directions to support the data requirements from their programs. The presentation will include a demonstration of the FAEIS Report Builder, a fast, convenient, clear, easy to learn and use tool for generating reports from FAEIS data. The live demonstration will focus on trends in enrollment and degrees awarded in forestry and natural resources.
