importantly, the aim of the course is for students togain an understanding of how their actions and designs have a significant impact on globalsustainability efforts.Incorporating sustainability into product and process design as a design constraint is clearly anecessity as all designers must understand the limits on natural resources. As environmentalconcerns such as global warming and energy security continue to weigh on society, the nextgeneration of students will need to be prepared to solve complex sustainability challenges. DfE isone element of moving towards sustainable development, and is a concept that has developedand evolved since the early 1990’s, largely initiated by the electronics industry.

Hanning and Flat-Top “windows” which are used to minimize leakage in continuous signals. Leakage and windowingfor transient signals are discussed in the second laboratory exercise, presented below. The third issue awakens students to fundamental differences between a continuous analogsignal and its digital representation. Once the analog signal has been sampled it becomes an arrayof numbers, and the FFT just manipulates one array of numbers into another array of numbers.The burden is on the user to know how to associate physical meaning to those arrays. It is clear tostudents that the “time” array, Sal in Fig. 1, represents samples of the continuous signal s(t) taken atuniform time intervals delta-t. But it comes as a surprise that the
