After confirming, Wen Ruohan immediately reached out to the department chair of the Aerospace College at Mist City Arts and Science University.

In fact, Ding Yue could probably guess that the Aerospace College at his university is just average.

After all, aside from the necessary investment in teaching, Ding Yue did not put much more money into this department.

Without a doubt, the Aerospace College is a very expensive department, it would cost a fortune to achieve something significant.

"Principal Ding, why are you suddenly interested in your school’s Aerospace College? To be honest, we at Westlight University also have this program, but the best we can produce are ordinary aviation maintenance personnel," said Xu Dongcheng, shrugging and laughing.

Ordinary Aerospace institutions, or related departments within comprehensive universities, indeed have difficulty in developing research-oriented talent in Aerospace.

As Principal Xu Dongcheng said, at most, they can produce some maintenance talents.

Westlight University, a well-established private comprehensive university, has an Aerospace program, but the majority of graduates end up working maintenance jobs at airlines.

Although this is what Principal Xu Dongcheng says,

Ding Yue still had some imagination. After all, he has the system in his hand, and when he will have spare money in the future, he could invest some into the Aerospace College, supplemented with some advanced technology, maybe he could make a name for himself and achieve something.

Wen Ruohan quickly received some basic information about Mist City University’s Aerospace College from its department chair, Zhang Chuan.

Then, Wen Ruohan promptly handed it over to Principal Ding, "Principal Ding, Director Zhang has sent over the information you requested about the Aerospace College."

"Oh, Director Zhang is still up at this hour." Ding Yue checked the time; it was almost five in the afternoon.

Considering the time difference, it should be around eleven or twelve o’clock at night in Xia Country.

"Yes."

Wen Ruohan handed her phone to Principal Ding.

After Ding Yue took Wen Ruohan’s phone, he opened the information spreadsheet to take a look.

The spreadsheet contained very comprehensive basic information about the Aerospace College at Mist City Arts and Science University. It even tracked how much was spent on teaching work every semester.

You have to give it to him, Director Zhang did a thorough job. This must be a report he compiles every semester.

Otherwise, when Ding Yue asked Wen Ruohan to get the materials from the Aerospace College on a whim, they wouldn’t have been able to provide them so quickly. It would have been nearly impossible to make one on the spot.

The report showed that there are currently 452 students in the first and second grades at the Aerospace College of Mist City Arts and Science University.

This number is low.

With less than five hundred students across two grades, it is considered one of the smaller departments at Mist City Arts and Science University.

Departments like Law have seen a surge in admissions this year, or rather, last year.

Computer Science has several thousand students, and Mechanical Engineering also has many students.

Departments such as Arts, Animation, Film and Television Academy, and Medical College, which have achieved some results at Mist City Arts and Science University, had many students admitted last year.

Those new high school graduates saw potential in these majors at Mist City Arts and Science University and naturally chose the best.

The least number of students at Mist City Arts and Science University are in the Aerospace College and Business School.

Additionally, departments like Agriculture and Forestry and History, students choose purely out of interest.

Take the Aerospace College for example, these 452 students chose it knowing full well it’s merely a ’prop’ at Mist City Arts and Science University.

A large part of the reason is their genuine love for Aerospace and their interest in it. Another reason is likely that their scores are simply not high enough to attend the proper Aerospace universities in Xia Country.

"452 students."

Ding Yue muttered softly, seeing the number.

These 452 students all love the Aerospace major. After adding the learning enhancement, theoretically, these students may not be inferior to a proper Aerospace university.

The only thing they may lack is the learning environment.

A proper Aerospace college has the country’s best Aerospace professors and experts, and it has a wealth of teaching resources.

On the other hand, Mist City University’s Aerospace college, frankly speaking, probably doesn’t have any professional professors.

Looking down the spreadsheet, Ding Yue saw that indeed, there were none. The lecturers were all ordinary Aerospace graduates or the like.

"Principal Ding, what did you say?" Wen Ruohan, who was standing by, heard Principal Ding mumbling something and asked curiously.

"Nothing much, I just didn’t expect the Aerospace College would still have over four hundred students." Ding Yue shook his head.

"Hmm, although this number is considered small among our university’s departments, compared to those with even fewer, it is quite a lot," Wen Ruohan said, nodding happily.

Ding Yue felt that the students loved this major and were interested in it, so perhaps Mist City Arts and Science University shouldn’t let them down.
