As we note in an upcomingpublication : “distinction [segregation within and between disciplines] removes individuals fromeasily creating collaborations within their discipline, and even has the ability to create a dividebetween subdisciplines.” This institutionalization of individualism within the academy, whichBennett [7] elucidates can then have the ability to facilitate faculty isolation.Similarly, while not focused on the field of engineering, Leslie D.
