building and to deliver human comfort, reflected a further schismbetween the professions and reached an apex in the years after World War II. According to Dr.Joseph Lstiburek, “During the post-war building boom, the emphasis on educating architectsshifted to aesthetics and design theory relating to aesthetics and away from the fundamentalaspects of construction and understanding of materials, assemblies, building systems, andsubsystems2.” The division of labor is a logical outgrowth of the increased knowledge needed to masterthe expanding profession. For instance, it would be quite a challenge to learn all the newcomplex structural technologies and theories concurrently with a full architectural education.This could again be said of the

“generic” office ceiling plan or theplumbing riser diagram for a “medium rise building” that is at once everywhere and thusnowhere. In HCL, to both its credit and its detriment, the same numbers almost all butdisappear into side-bars or simple rule-of-thumb tables6 yet with a purpose that I believe hasgreater promise and purpose. For the bulk of HCL’s arguments are qualitative, relational andgeometric - more or less southern exposure, greater or lesser degrees of cross ventilationpaths, etc. - in a manner that literally relies on a student’s “obvious” reading of its very notslick photographs and simple illustrations to pass along ownership of their “proof” to thereader - “Here, see for yourself!” Reflecting now on my two systems courses, there

? How far from home do we really feel? How different is the country and thearchitecture we are visiting and viewing?This paper explores the lessons learned, and often missed, with respect to witnessing teaching ina foreign country. It examines, describes, and reflects upon the value of experiential education,community engagement, in-classroom techniques, as well as unique S.E. Asian teachingpractices and celebrations that forge initial bonds between students and their teachers. Theseteaching lessons learned through study abroad are compared to the architectural engineeringeducation practices in North America. This paper examines methods for developing respect forteachers, for engaging in the architectural creative process and for paying respect

to teach ethics as a new instructor. The National Society of ProfessionalEngineers has case material available under the title, “Professional Engineers in Education(NSPE-PEE).” An electronic disc containing eight cases with guidelines is available from theMurdough Center for Engineering Professionalism and Ethics at Texas Tech University, directedby Dr. Jimmie Smith. Dr. Michael S. Pritchard and others.The emphasis of the course will be on promoting thoughtful reflection and problem solvingrather than on role behavior or instilling specific norms. The course can provide the practicalsource of support for engineers in a real world setting providing more guidance than traditionalexercises emphasizing a choice between external whistle blowing

Caribbean countries, and Venezuela worked toward convertingincandescent to fluorescent lighting, and other countries including the UK and Canada have sinceadopted a phase-out of inefficient incandescent lighting14. This global issue was addressed at the2007 IESNA/Cooper Teachers of Lighting Workshop by an international cohort of lightingeducators. This consortium considered methods of incorporating energy efficient lightingmethodology into relevant coursework, transforming traditional lighting design education. Asthese legislative directives are recent and continually evolving, architectural and interior designcurricula must stay abreast of developments to reflect emerging issues in lighting technology.It is pertinent for students to understand

. However, this requires that true integration of theoretical, practical and self- regulative knowledge takes place.”[3]From this position it can be inferred that a key difference between traditional cooperativeeducation models, full semester formal employment experience, and project based learning liesin the self regulative characteristic of the experience. Self-regulative knowledge has receivedattention from both educational and working-life researchers. Theorists of adult education havetypically discussed it in terms of reflective thinking and theorists of student learning in terms ofmetacognitive skills. [5] Page 22.370.2According to
