Institutionalization is achieved when the universitymakes a “permanent” financial commitment (i.e. line item) to a project or some aspect thereof.”The authors go on to state the four key aspects of institutionalization as value, leadership,stability, and diffusion.

He started his research career applying fairly deep mathematical ideas to gain insight into how complex physical and engineering systems work. His work was theoretical and somewhat abstract. Since then, his research has evolved toward studying a different type of complex system: how students learn and become excited about engineering. In this endeavor, Dr. Coller is mostly a "nuts & bolts" practitioner, an engineer, and an experimentalist.David Shernoff, Northern Illinois University

Offering a dedicated courserequires a significant time commitment and must not be entered into lightly. The ability toprovide an excellent design experience to the students may be the only reward to the instructor.However, one method for an instructor to derive benefit is to only commit time and effort toprojects that will also benefit the instructor’s research or educational goals.
