We not only explain and explore the use ofthis technology in our courses, we assess its impacts comparing sections without the newtechnology to sections with the implementation.There is a body of work in education that evaluates and discusses the impacts of electronicportfolios (EPs) which in many ways are similar to electronic notebooks.

The advent ofembedded systems and cyber-physical systems, as integration of computation, networking andphysical systems and processes, and, consequently, the goal to impart the needed knowledge todesign and lead the operations for such systems, is one motivation.

In integrative learning knowledge and skills are connected frommultiple sources and they are applied at different setting using different views [1, 11, 12]. Themain idea is to incorporate it as integrated studies that would involve making connections withina between fields major, between curriculum, and multi-disciplinary curriculum [1, 2].Before introducing the sustainability component to the curriculum, it is important to understandthe student perception and knowledge of sustainability.
