We were approached by a professor of our Biology department to design adatabase for his project. The aim of the project is to document the various plant species found onMount Timpanogos. Researchers involved in the project will hike the mountain and take aphotograph of the various plant species they encounter. Along with the photograph they recordthe exact latitude and longitude and elevation of each plant. The goal is to get an accurate pictureof all of the plant species on the

Thehorizontal approach ultimately helps students and instructors learn about sustainability conceptsand their application in academic and professional settings.In the pursuit of integrating these concepts into their curricula, special undergraduate programsin other universities have attempted to implement the horizontal method into their approach,which has posed its challenges. At Michigan Tech, an established program called SustainableFutures Institute (SFI) focuses on research and education to provide solutions to sustainabilitychallenges [9].

To obtain a degree,a student should have to satisfy the requirements for at least one area of concentration – this ensures“in-depth” education in some sub-area of the curriculum. The coverage of fundamentals and necessary breadth of education can be guaranteed by including inthe curriculum requirements a sufficiently large set of the subject classes.
