being “xunhuan xiangji yiweiyong” (“being integrated without any barriers”). Because engineering is comprehensive,involves complexity, and attempts to meet human needs, it seems potentially well-aligned withthis way of organizing knowledge, which promotes coherence and convergence betweenscientific and humanistic knowledge in engineering education. Yet based on establishment of “arational engineering curriculum system,” engineering students were required to take compulsorycourses related to specialized technical topics in order to avoid achieving breadth withoutsufficient depth.11 This approach was consistent with a traditional Chinese view that “naturalsciences cannot be isolated. And if it was separated from humanities, it would be looked

Experiential education puts students in the field, addressing real, complex andopen-ended projects. Fieldwork is integrated with the academic content and students have acontext in which to apply practical, theoretical, and ethical solutions to problems or projects.[4]“Live projects reject the separation between real and theoretical, practice and education, andallow the student to be creative within constraints.” [7] Sara defines ‘live projects’ as: “The live project is defined here as a type of design project that

In ART, if the candidate traceability linksgenerated by the automated tool do not look promising, the students should learn to revisit theproblem definition or to re-prioritize the requirements (clusters) to be traced. Essentially, thisstrategy is analogous to engineering design, in which constructing and reasoning about a de-sign model, rather than building the full-fledged system, can help assure quality and minimizere-work. Despite the teaching of the shorten-the-feedback-loop principle in most curriculums,students should learn to apply the idea in a more flexible and dynamic way.3. Developing an enriched vocabulary.

The sick building syndrome is a multidisciplinary problem since the causes of sick building syndrome are multiple, such as, contamination (inside and outside), material used to construct the building (formaldehyde, fiberglass), inadequate ventilation, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, cigarette smoking, humidity, noise and illumination, scabies, and other unknown syndrome.
