Thus, Discourse gives students their sense ofself, what they do, and how they must act every day to fit in a particular culture (i.e.,engineering).Discourses are socially situated identities and highly influence the social context in whichknowledge and certain practices materialize. Discourses influence how individuals practice andengage in different activities, including engineering. Based on Gee’s [11] definition ofDiscourse, engineering can be described not only as a cognitive process but also as part of alarger engineering Discourse that is not

the lessons learned from teaching in higher education.IntroductionThe academic field of building design becomes confounding when the variety of students,teachers, courses, programs, and intuitional types intermingle. We have a blend of engineeringand architecture students, engineering and architecture courses, accrediting boards, and publicand private institutions of higher education. At the simplest level, engineering students enroll inengineering courses and architecture students enroll in architecture courses in a public land-grant institution. More complex teaching and learning scenarios occur when the engineeringmajors take architecture courses in the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) accredited degree programs and

towards thecenter of the spectrum. Feedback from faculty, socialized in the mainstream engineering culture,favored the existence of the spectacle and the panopticon. In a classroom setting, the studentsinitially (for the first couple of weeks of the semester) expressed dislike of the group and circleseating arrangement or were indifferent to it. Towards the end of the semester, however, they(one cohort of 15 students with the longest exposure) had almost unanimous appreciation of it.This change in student opinions resulted from open discussions with the students about theexistence of power in the classroom and the philosophies of liberative pedagogies. An interestingcontrast can be drawn with the feedback from the Informational Technology staff
