defined a series of objectives for adesign project than the designer- whether in a consulting office or in a classroom- want to findout what the customer really wants. Questions such as: what is an economic project? How doyou define the best design? What is a safe design? What are the factor(s) that will affect thedesign the most? Phrasing it differently, knowledge resides in the questions that can be asked andthe answers that can be provided (2) .A sequence of inquiry characterized by a hierarchy: certainquestions need to be asked and answered before other questions can be asked. There is a setprocedure which constitutes the inquiry process in an epistemological context. Taxonomies ofsuch a procedure or inquiry process have been extended to

or solutions were generally directed to the instructor who gave the quiz orhomework. Since that instructor was not in the classroom when these were returned tothe student, the student normally had to call or email the instructor. None of the JZinstructors had an office at TU, nor did they have any set office hours which made itmore difficult for students to discuss issues face-to-face after an instructor finishedteaching their topic(s).Another important challenge in the course was the broad scope of topics covered. Forexample, process burners are taught at the JZI over four full days but covered in only twoand half hours total in the TU Combustion Engineering course. Due to time constraints,instructors had to greatly scale back the content

that include narrativeinquiry, phenomenology, grounded theory, and ethnogrophy12. Creswell13, describes case studies Page 15.182.6as follows: Case studies, in which the researcher explores in depth a program, an event, an activity, a process, or one or more individuals. The case(s) are bounded by time and activity, and researchers collect detailed information using a variety of data collection procedures over a sustained period of time (Stake, 1995).Elliot and Luke14, however, argue that case studies are not a method of inquiry but rather a toolfor data generation and interpretation that, most likely, cannot be generalized. In fact

Thismethodology facilitates the s development of crystallized intelligence (i.e., skill setsappropriately applied given certain conditions)8.A training path was created that outlines all formal training courses that associates mustcomplete during their two years in the program. Formal courses are offered in multiple formats Page 15.473.6to support learning objectives and to minimize travel. Theoretical and topic courses are offeredin a virtual training environment.
