The institutional research decisions of tomorrow are often made with today’s research in mind. Thorough analysis of today’s engineering research trends, reach, and impact help deans and chairs make data-driven decisions about the pathway to tomorrow, while influencing grant allocations, research focus, and overall strategic vision.

Yet, the pathway from today to tomorrow is often uncertain. Creating reports that summarize institutional research activity can be time consuming. Plus, it’s still a challenge to reconcile data from multiple sources.

Many educators and researchers already understand the importance of visual aids (e.g. graphs, charts, etc). But, peer-reviewed research also concludes that “using visuals aids as a teaching method stimulates thinking and improves the learning environment in a classroom.” In addition, “effective use of visual aids substitutes monotonous learning environments.”

Whether in a classroom or in the library, visual representations of data and information make concepts easier to digest. That’s why Engineering Village continues to invest in new ways to represent data in easily consumable formats.
