With this in mind, the engineeringeducation community should continue investigating and evaluating the key factors that hinder orpromote collaborative research within and across institutions, especially amidst efforts tocontinue to grow the field. Over the last few decades, research collaborations across institutionshave grown significantly—however, few studies have examined the relationship between suchcollaborations and the institutional characteristics such as ranking, geographic location, orclassifications (e.g., the Carnegie Classification of Higher Education Institutions) when studyingcollaboration networks.

In addition to educatingengineering students, the simulator will also be used as a promotional tool, both for theuniversity and the engineering department, and allow it to be a resource for what other needs theuniversity might have for a Stewart platform. With this in mind, a few more practical designgoals are being pursued. First, the simulator must be safe enough for people of all ages and sizesto ride in.

Buthow do we decide if an innovation is achieving the desired outcomes? Most engineering facultymembers are interested, even eager to make improvements in the way engineering concepts aretaught in their courses.
