A new research thrust in the analysis of complex systems has been created and an undergraduate curriculum has been reinvigorated.This has been accomplished by implementing a model of Scholarship put forth by Boyer in his work 'Scholarship Revisited'.Information Technology is the proving ground for the scholarship of integration and, by consequence, a catalyst for new teaching,research and service efforts. While the standardization of legacy software places boundaries on disciplines, the utilization of information technologies at a fundamental level enriches the investigations the scholar. This will presentation will connect Boyer's four models of scholarship to the development of a new software approach to analyzing complex systems using information technologies.
