[LINK] Systems Engineering for Sustainable Development

[Tom Worthington]

Greetings from the famous room N101 in the Computer Science and 
Information Technology building at the Australian National University in 
Canberra. I am helping teach "Systems Engineering for Software 
Engineers" (COMP3530 and COMP6353). This week's topic is Sustainability, 
with Dr Lorrae van Kerkhoff, from the ANU Fenner School of Environment 
and Society and myself. This may seem a strange topic and speakers for a 
software engineering course, but there is little point in just teaching 
the students to build a new App with dancing cats. As professionals the 
graduates need to be worrying about the social effects of what they do.
