Here is a breakdown of Feb Career Connections 2013 data
Figure 1 - Types of Recruiting Companies at Feb Career Connections event at NMSU (source)
Figure 2 - 2013 Breakout of students attending Feb Career Connections (source)
Notice – there are twice as many and then some Engineering as Business students attending. There are about 2300 engineering students, and its hard to say how many business students, since only Student Credit Hour data is publicly available. You can estimate as Engineering generates 17K and Business 22K SCH. Engineering gained 3.3% while Business lost 4.3% SCH 2013 to 2014 (Dec to Feb figures).
Why did twice as many Engineering students attend than did Business students? One reason is on day two, College of Enginering partnered with Career Fair, and many of the recruiters were former NMSU Engineering students, here to recruit more of that college's students.
