This Conceptual Development and Planning project integrates sustainability concepts throughout undergraduate computing education. An interdisciplinary team of faculty from engineering, computer science, and cognitive science plans to test, develop, implement, and evaluate an educational model for sustainability integration into the curriculum. The team plans to develop models, projects and courses for beginning and upper level students, including a new course in green computing. The group envisions a focus on the power consumption of large data centers aspects of sustainability. The goal is to prepare students with the computing competencies, multi-disciplinary knowledge, and computational thinking methodologies to create a sustainable future. The intellectual merit of the project lies in the importance and currency of the topic and clear need for such changes in computing education to prepare the upcoming generation of computing professionals. The cross-disciplinary project team includes researchers with significant expertise in both the computing discipline research that underlies the implementation and in educational innovation. The project has the potential for providing new research models in an emerging field critical for future generations as well as the current one.The broader impacts of the project lie in the potential to address changing demands on computing professionals and to attract a diverse audience of students. The project has the potential to provide innovative models for transforming computing education that are of value to other colleges and universities across the nation.

这个概念开发和计划项目整合了整个本科计算教育中的可持续性概念。 来自工程，计算机科学和认知科学的教师跨学科团队，计划测试，开发，实施和评估可持续性融合到课程中的教育模型。 该团队计划为初学者和上层学生开发模型，项目和课程，包括绿色计算的新课程。该小组设想着关注可持续性大型数据中心方面的功耗。目的是为学生提供计算能力，多学科知识和计算思维方法，以创造可持续的未来。 该项目的智力优点在于该主题的重要性和货币，以及对计算教育中这种变化的明确需求，以准备即将到来的计算专业人员。 跨学科项目团队包括在实施和教育创新中具有重要专业知识的研究人员。该项目有可能在对后代和当前的新兴领域中提供新的研究模型。该项目的更广泛影响在于潜在的潜力，即解决对计算专业人员的不断变化需求并吸引各种各样的学生的需求。该项目有可能提供创新的模型，以改变对全国其他大学和大学有价值的计算教育。
