These pro- grams address learning objectives such as designing products that address sustainability principles, collaborating cross- culturally, conducting research internationally, developing skills for a globally competitive economy, exploring alterna- tive energy processes, discovering industrial practices, and leadership in international settings. The programs address these objectives at the undergraduate level. The paper describes some of the key features of how each of these programs are in the process of bring designed, implemented, and evaluated as mini-cases of new curricular and research experi- ences, with a focus on lessons learned and recommendations for each of the programs. Finally, the paper will discuss different perspectives on what it means to address educational needs to meet the challenges of globalization, sustainabil- ity, and human dignity. How do different social, professional, and institutional perspectives affect the ways globalization and sustainability are represented, discussed, explored, and integrated into research, design, and learning experiences at the undergraduate and graduate levels? What are the similarities and differences between engineers and architectural students' attitudes and knowledge in Campinas and Pittsburgh regarding these themes? How do these representations make a difference in internationally collaborative programs? How ought the design and research processes be modified to take advantage of the synergy and deflect any disconnects?

Os prédios escolares no país apresentam falhas no aspecto de conforto, muitas vezes relacionadas às modificações de uso, problemas derivados do projeto e obra original, bem como o desgaste natural de uma construção. Existem problemas simples cujas soluções oferecem possibilidade de ganhos qualitativos com custo reduzido. Este trabalho descreve uma pesquisa junto às escolas estaduais da ...

A case study was conducted in school buildings in the region of the city of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. The methodology adopted was based on field observations of technical aspects of the school environment and of types of user behavior (interventions) that introduced changes in the classroom space. Questionnaires were applied to users. A follow-up study evaluated user perception of possible ...

The authors developed 2 booklets to make children aware of the built environment. Following a postoccupancy evaluation of state schools in the city of Campinas, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, the research team saw the need to improve users' awareness of their physical environment. The booklets were tested in classroom settings and were considered important and interesting by both teachers and students. A second teaching experiment, through distance education, is also presented.
