Historically, research has shownthat, in general, when presented with the appropriate information on energy usage, the aver-age home owner will at least make an attempt to decrease their consumption6. Page 14.334.5The use of feedback to reduce energy consumption was initially studied following the Araboil embargo of 1973 by psychologists who were interested in human behavior. Barbara Far-har reviewed several studies incorporating feedback in the form of notes left on the door orkitchen window, meter reading, and self-monitoring7. These studies were among the firstaimed at the residential sector and

In some cases they may not have any sense at all of the essence of the problem. Oneoption is for a student to look at several initial starting strategies and use them as part of a multi-pronged dialectical strategy in formulating problem interpretation. The process used by studentsfor problem interpretations is outlined in Diagram 3 below.Diagram 3: Process used for Problem InterpretationRead/Review Reflect, journal, Formal group Start research - Discuss & re-Competition informal discussion & formulate heuristic/ assess problemProgram

Initially, most of the students saw themselves as staying in Australiaand took the opportunity to learn about the local construction industry. However, with time, thestudents in the later part of the nineties sought to take their knowledge back to their homecountry to take advantage of the growing economy, particularly in India. Most of the studentssought information about construction processes that could be utilised at home to give them acommercial advantage.As the student demands changed, the adjunct staff in particular responded by restructuring theircourses. The tenured staff supported the new thrust in research by encouraging the comparison ofAustralian and

Theyallow students to learn, research, and network with faculty and business leaders fromdifferent disciplines and programs. And they encourage collaboration and experientiallearning for under- and upperclassmen alike.Innovation spaces thus foster entrepreneurship among students in two ways: byallowing them to begin to envision themselves as practicing engineers — and gain therequired skills that will help them get there — and also by helping them engage directlywith community business leaders.

Students explore various retail locations to seekacceptable light sources that have informative packaging. Life-cycle cost is considered tocombine initial product cost with cost of operation over life of the lamp. With a consideration ofconsumer education, students specify light sources with the best combination of performancecharacteristics and informative labeling.Students research various paths of current and proposed

19th century” [3]. While computer development began in the 1940s,the CAD industry began to take shape in the 1960s [3], [4]. The use of CAD became widespreadin architectural practice in the 1990s. Initially CAD was mainly used for 2D drafting, “emulatingtraditional hand drafting practices” [3] while at the same time enabling editing and revisions ofdrawings without the need to redo the entire drawing [5]. With advancements in research inindustry as well as universities CAD evolved to 3D using wireframe geometry [3]. Thewidespread use of CAD in industry has led to training in CAD tools becoming an integral part ofarchitecture and engineering curricula.According to Andia, computers affected architectural education in five distinct ways that

Based on thatcourse model, problems became apparent in subsequent structural design courses and in thecomprehensive design studio. These problems included the fact that a large percentage of thestudents were not aware of the structural design process necessary to complete a buildingdesign. A
