the annual meeting theAmerican Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), where small colleges have a much higherproportional representation in technical sessions than at other professional meetings. The studentwork and collaborations with US based students and faculty, on local projects of servicelearning, represent examples of the scholarship of application. When applying new technologiessuccessfully in the developing world, the faculty and students at UTG are at a competitiveadvantage over western R1 universities, due to their intimate understanding of the local cultureand environment.To achieve the research identity sought, UTG should contribute to disciplinary scholarship inareas of unique expertise. UTG doesn't have the resources to
