Boyer8 furtherargues that “today, interdisciplinary and integrative studies, only on the edges of academic life,are moving toward the center, responding both to new intellectual questions and to pressinghuman problems.” Scholarship of Application provides the opportunity to bridge the gap between theory andpractice. It involves practical problem identification and resolution through research and action.Many technology professors are particularly suited for this aspect of scholarship that within theacademic community has sometimes been analogous with service, which has previously beenrejected as

However, the program is verymentor dependent; i.e. it takes more than one adult to lead a team. Because we live in asociety with a growing need to become more technologically literate2, because FRC isvery time dependent, because FRC is expensive, and because the first year can be veryoverwhelming, there is a shortage of mentors. For those willing to start an FRC team,there is a great deal of support as everyone is encouraged by FIRST to act with “graciousprofessionalism4” and to engage in

We alsoprovide a wide spectrum of female role models and peer support. We surround the girls withfemale staff who are engaged in STEM fields, including HS students, undergrad & grad students,and faculty. The program shows how engineering provides a range of opportunities to fulfillhumanistic and people-oriented values and goals. This is done through selection of workshoptopics but especially through a real-world service learning project where teams of 10 girls usethe engineering
