integration using VHDL. This is accomplished by introducing digital design principles,bread-board debugging techniques, design and simulation using CAD tools and verifications onFPGA/CPLD boards. In general, student feedback to this course was very positive. The overallevaluations of this course were 3.50/4.0 (fall 2003) and 3.75/4.0 (spring 2004). The author alsosuggests that VHDL be introduced at junior level after the digital system design is finished. Fromthese teaching experiences in IPFW, the author concludes that integrating CAD andFPGA/CPLD instead of the early introduction of HDL can better help students to learn thedigital logic systems in a teaching-oriented university.References[1] S.

The Sustainable Classroom: Teaching Sustainability to Tomorrow’s Engineers1 By Peter J. Bosscher, Jeffrey S. Russell, and W.B. Stouffer2INTRODUCTIONWhy is an education in Sustainable Engineering needed and what should it look like? Engineersplay a central role in creating infrastructure in the world by acting as problem solvers who applytheir knowledge and experience to projects that meet human needs. They work on a wide rangeof issues and projects, and as a result, how engineers work can have a significant impact onprogress toward sustainable development. How engineers are educated has a significant effecton the way in which they work and the way in which they

To broaden the impact of this project, students from other areas of science,technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) at USU are also invited to attend the work-shop. As a result, for the summer 2004 workshop half of the participants were computer sciencestudents, the other half mechanical engineering students. For the hands on portion of the work-shop, interdisciplinary teams were created, allowing the students to learn from each others experi-ence. Some of the engineering students brought their own research code for the 4th and 5th day ofthe workshop which allowed the computer
