The three pillars of sustainable development are social development,economic development and environmental restoration. A major challenge to this integration isadding to the workload of the existing curriculum. In some cases, introducing the new conceptsrequires the loss of essential course material. Consequently, many civil engineering departmentshave successfully integrated sustainable design principles through course modules, and projectbased learning3.

Alternatively, if over time the IDP appeals to enoughof the professors within the department, then perhaps the inclusion of the IDP will occur naturally.Moreover, it is recommended to establish an elevated level of communication amongst the instructors forall integrated courses to optimize the execution of the IDP, minimizing the conflicts and maximizing thevalue to the students.

The benefits of integrating the MCUtools in the DSP course are very promising. It permits more practical DSP laboratories and DSP-based capstone projects that render richer design experiences and makes meeting realistic designconstraints feasible. Furthermore, it provides an integrated laboratory curriculum structurebetween embedded microcontroller and DSP courses which reduces students’ unnecessary effortof learning new tools in different courses.

Students must develop anew or improved product or technology during their senior design sequence. Each project will bedeveloped by a team of 3 to 4 students.
