component includes but is not limited tothe African partner(s) and other government agencies. Department of Defense (DOD)officials explain that the defense strategy is evolving from “fighting and winning wars” topreventing conflict by addressing threats at their onset. AFRICOM’s proactive approachseeks to “help develop a stable environment in which civil society can be built and thatthe quality of life for the citizenry can be improved.” 1 As foreign policy expert J. PeterPham explains, AFRICOM will “require a major break with the conventional doctrinalmentalities both within the armed services themselves and between governmentagencies.” 2 AFRICOM, known as a combatant command “plus”, will be the hands-onmodel for an evolving DOD strategy.Africa’s

importantly, the aim of the course is for students togain an understanding of how their actions and designs have a significant impact on globalsustainability efforts.Incorporating sustainability into product and process design as a design constraint is clearly anecessity as all designers must understand the limits on natural resources. As environmentalconcerns such as global warming and energy security continue to weigh on society, the nextgeneration of students will need to be prepared to solve complex sustainability challenges. DfE isone element of moving towards sustainable development, and is a concept that has developedand evolved since the early 1990’s, largely initiated by the electronics industry.
