This paper presents efforts to contribute to the field of Engineering Education Research (EER) via the creation of the Montana Engineering Education Research Center (MEERC) at Montana State University (MSU). This center was established in 2016 and within its first year increased funded EER expenditures by 400%, tripled the number of faculty engaged in EER, and doubled the number of authors submitting papers to the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference. This paper will detail the steps that were taken, both formally and informally, to rapidly increase EER productivity at MSU. This paper will also discuss the barriers that must be addressed to maintain this level of productivity including how to engage graduate students in EER, how to integrate EER within the contexts of traditional promotion and tenure procedures, and overcoming cultural stigmas about education research. This paper will be of interest to faculty wishing to engage in EER, faculty already engaged in EER that wish to increase productivity at their universities, or faculty have already established a thriving EER program and have advice to share with the MEERC leadership.
