education curriculum has been well documented in research, is an expected studentoutcome for all engineering programs and it relates to skills sought out by engineering employers[1]-[3]. Engineering students must function effectively on a team whose members togetherprovide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks,and meet objectives [2]. For teams and students to be successful, all individuals must be engaged[4]. In this respect, assigning team roles may have a positive impact on overall team success[5],[6]. However, modern teams tend to be more fluid in their roles and not rely solely on definedrole assignments [7].All students should enjoy and be successful in their teams, while obtaining the

sustainability of educational institutions generally depends largely on strategic planning, both in terms of optimal allocation of resources/manpower and budgeting for financial aids/scholarships to incoming students. Hence, forecasting of student enrollment plays a vital role in making crucial decisions based on previous time-bound records. This work demonstrates the power of neural network-based time series forecast over a traditional time series model and recommends the better network architecture between deep and shallow neural networks based on 25-year historical records of student enrollment in a CS1 course at a mid-west university in the United States of America.
