Abstract

Information technology (IT) forms a crucial foundation for designing, building and managing future sustainable cities. This paper proposes a model to innovate the engineering and computing curriculum to include sustainability and IT topics in order to develop the skills and competencies that future professionals will need to design, build and manage future cities. Rather than developing a new program, we propose a curriculum model - called SustainIT -adapted from the successful 2006 US NAE Gordon Prize engineering curriculum innovation, The Learning Factory - as a possible roadmap to reform and complement existing Bachelors of Science (BS) degrees in engineering. By providing a series of guided electives, any engineering program may offer engineering, and/or computer science students the opportunity to learn about and become specialized in IT for Sustainability. Multidisciplinary topics include traditional ecological engineering; life-cycle design; design and application of resource microgrids; pervasive sensing and data aggregation; knowledge discovery, data mining and visualization; and, policy based control and operation for resource provisioning.
可持续性的信息技术工程课程
信息技术(IT)是设计、建设和管理未来可持续城市的重要基础。本文提出了一种创新工程和计算机课程的模式,以包括可持续性和IT主题,以培养未来专业人员设计、建造和管理未来城市所需的技能和能力。我们不是开发一个新项目,而是提出了一种名为“可持续信息技术”的课程模式,它改编自2006年美国NAE戈登奖工程课程创新的成功案例“学习工厂”,作为改革和补充现有工程学士学位的可能路线图。通过提供一系列指导性选修课,任何工程项目都可以为工程和/或计算机科学专业的学生提供学习和专攻可持续发展信息技术的机会。多学科课题包括传统生态工程;生命周期设计;资源微电网的设计与应用普适传感和数据聚合;知识发现、数据挖掘和可视化;以及基于策略的资源配置控制和操作。
