For example, bedrestcould be a real possibility, given that an estimated 20% of women are prescribed bedrest at somepoint in their pregnancy.14 When one of my female colleagues was put on bedrest, it was nearthe end of the semester. Fortunately, she was teaching a graduate-level class and had justassigned their final project so that she was not lecturing anymore. She conducted researchmeetings and office hours and continued to work on her laptop in a supine position for over amonth. Due dates can be another tricky matter. One of my male colleagues generously offeredto drive me to the hospital if my water broke at work since his parking spot is right next to ourbuilding (mine is a half mile away). Another male

computer generated data was createdwith all the attributes necessary for the students to implement the data analysis tools taught in thecourse. In order to compare the performance and perception between the students in the twoclasses, the following procedures were used. (a) The graduate student assistant developed a daily log and made notes on theexperimental class. (b) A questionnaire that had been developed earlier was used to evaluate the perceptionof the students to the use of the case study in the class. We collected data from a questionnaireon students’ perception towards effectiveness of the “non-lecture” component of their course inconveying the key concepts stated in the syllabus.

Both architecture and architectural engineering studentsare required to take this course. The course requirements are somewhat different for the twomajors, and often less than a quarter of the class is AE students. We have come to call this theComprehensive Semester because it not only requires the use of information learned throughoutthe curriculum, but also incorporates a studio, a technology seminar, and a management courseinto a tightly knit whole. Throughout the semester, all students integrate architectural design withmechanical and structural systems design

This corresponds to 12 semester credit hours [24 CP] ofGerman language instruction.

This scenario assumes the rapid development anddeployment of advanced nuclear energy technologies used together with a closed nuclear fuelcycle.Although the world may not be running out of energy, it can be argued that it is running out ofthe types of hydrocarbon-based energy that are currently the basis for global energy delivery.Two critical challenges are (a) developing an integrated and coordinated approach – at the globallevel – that enables an orderly transition to an advanced energy future that is sustainable,affordable, and has limited environmental impact and that can meet growing global energydemands, and (b
