Related to this endeavor, CEE faculty members have begun to enhanceundergraduate engineering education through the incorporation of sustainability concepts andprinciples into their courses. One approach for gauging the effectiveness of these efforts is toexamine the ability of seniors enrolled in the capstone design course to incorporate sustainabilityinto the design process.Sustainability Education in CEE at Georgia TechTwo sustainability-focused courses have been vertically integrated into the CEE curriculum atGeorgia Tech.

Theoretical background Power consumption of CMOS Power dissipation in CMOS circuits comes from two components: static power and dynamicpower [10]: Ptotal = Pstatic + Pdynamic Static power is the power consumed when the device is idle. The dissipation is due to thesubthreshold conduction through “off” transistors, the tunneling current through gate oxide, andthe leakage through reverse-biased diodes. Dynamic power is the power consumed when the transistors within the device change logicstates. The dissipation is due to the charging and discharging of load capacitances and the

The preliminaryfeedback from the students who have now taken the course show that they appreciate the materialpresented and the opportunity to participate in a practical engineering experience. In addition, because ofthe additional emphasis on technical communication skills the students now produce better qualityreports, in general. Consequently, the redesign of the course has been viewed as a significantimprovement to the Mechanical Engineering curriculum at Manhattan College.Bibliography1) Cyr, M, Miragila, V., Nocera, T., and Rogers, C.
