Systems Thinking for Sustainability (SFTS) is an innovative teamtaught cross-disciplinary course for undergraduates from four colleges—Engineering, Design &Architecture, Education and Business/Economics—developed to address the current disciplinaryisolation of students and educators in STEM fields in order to improve undergraduate STEMeducation. The initial hypothesis was that the challenges of communicating about the difficult-to-define collection of problems called sustainability across different disciplinary boundaries duringproject-based work would provide the student teams and the faculty team with valuableexperience and increased skill in working

She planned on studying more, forming a studygroup for each class, seeking tutors if she struggles in a course, and planning extracurricularactivities around her study schedule in the fall.Ashley’s academic motivation was also impacted by STEP. With regards to usefulness, shebelieved engineering courses would help her “think outside of the box,” which was importantsince engineers are “inventing things” and being innovative. The engineering course helped herrealize that she could not just “regurgitate” things that she learned: she would have to applythem.

Increased chip complexity and chip functionality—coupledwith new product innovations—have helped blur the definitions. In the modern era, nearly threebillion CPU’s are put to market every year6. And the number will only continue to rise at animpressive rate.One of the foremost questions related to the design of embedded systems is the following: Whatshould be classified as an embedded computer?
