-competitive markets in engineering education could arise whenever there is oneperson/organization/institution involved in providing or “consuming” a good or service. On aregional level, this could arise from engineering programs themselves if there is a paucity ofprograms for students in a certain geographical area, or for a particular technical specialty. In thisexample, there might be a small number of schools offering an engineering course of study. As aresult, students interested in engineering (or a particular type of engineering) would haveminimal options, leading to a potentially non-competitive market because the extant program(s)do not have to compete with other engineering programs to enroll engineering students.

of faculty in the establishment of MEERCat and how faculty-led researchprojects can contribute to informing both policy and practice at the department level. Thenarratives provided details on the history behind the development of these research projects, thelarge data collection efforts involved, and the collaborations inside the University that help theprojects function smoothly. Faculty who engage in course innovation or education research canuse this paper as a case study of how to get actively and collectively involved in influencingdepartment-level practices at their respective institutions.References[1] J.
