Report summary

Michigan State University Department of Mechanical Engineering in 2018-2020 reads as a 42-PI network with 14 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Engineering as the leading field (51% of slots across 35 PIs; 35 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (10% of slots across 10 PIs; 10 labels), and Advanced Combustion Engine Technologies as the leading topic (3% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That is of concern for a 42-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The leading PI names are Craig Gunn (33.2 weighted works; Engineering Education and Pedagogy, Engineering Education and Curriculum Development). The most visible ties are Ahmed Naguib and Manoochehr Koochesfahani (16 shared works, weight 9.3). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 9.5, around Biomedical Engineering, Materials Chemistry, Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine, led by Tamara Reid Bush, Lik Chuan Lee, Sara Roccabianca.
