22.742.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 Generalizing the Particular:Rethinking the Role of the Case Study in Building Technology Courses Page 22.742.2 In many ways my argument is best made as a tale of two textbooks (and for this audience Iwill assume well-known textbooks) in the development of two different building systemscourses that were started in a nine lecture-hours per week trial by fire in the summer of 2003.The first text is Norbert Lechner’s Heating, Cooling, Lighting (HCL), at last now moreconfidently subtitled in its third edition, Sustainable Design Methods for Architects.1 Secondwe have the quintessential all-systems tome, Mechanical and

Concepts – “Open the mind”In engineering disciplines, the students’ ability to comprehend engineering principles cansuccessfully be obtained by manually solving a series of multiple engineering problems ofprogressive difficulty as most engineering textbooks are formatted. The results of thismathematical approach in engineering education seem to be straightforward, maybe evenobvious.In architectural programs, however, this most effective teaching methodology of structuralengineering principles seems to need some additional pedagogical consideration or “treats” tomake the students more attracted, motivated and remain focused. To wake up the architecturalstudents out of the inactive mode in structures courses, the gap between the two

. Otherconcepts come to mind—public health and safety, quality, usefulness, efficiency, cost/risk/benefit analysis, environmental harm, truthfulness, trustworthiness, loyalty and so on which arecommon in all engineering professional ethics.Many of these concepts are sometimes confusing and conflicting. Engineering math cannot beused to solve these problems to get the right answer. So, how we can help students to deal withethical disagreement, ambiguity, and vagueness? It is always part of real life that somedisagreement and uncertainty can be expected and should be tolerated, but majority’s view is theacceptable one although in many cases it may not be true (Harris et al 1996).There are additional goals of teaching ethics as well. Teaching ethics can
