I would only resort to #send and friends if neccessarity occurs:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
def convert value, type
  case type.to_sym
    when :textField,:text_field then value.clone
    when :text,:t,:value then value.value
    when :html then value.html
    else value
  end
end

def getProperties type = :textField
  {
    :name => convert(@ie.text_field(:id, /EnvironmentTextEdit/), type),
    :start => convert(@ie.text_field(:id, /StartYearEdit/), type),
    :years => convert(@ie.text_field(:id, /NumberOfYearsEdit/), type)
  }
end
-------------------------------------------------------------------

thats much more pleasing to my eye, but YMMV

cheers
