Can decision makers, including students, operate effectively if they gain their basic knowledge in the traditional, separate disciplcnes and then apply it to the problem in question? Or is problem-focused education preferable? Using examples relating to energy requirements in the built environment, the authors will show how the discipline-based approach can result in knowledge being defined and organized in very different ways from those that follow from a problem-focused approach. Examples show how the notion of appropriate rigor in analysis of problems can lead to organization of the knowledge base in ways that facilitate effective application
