“…Several studies analyse Millennials, covering a wide range of issues, such as use of social media [35], learning styles and teaching methods [36][37][38][39] or presence/lack of social responsibility [40]. However, on the basis of a literature search conducted on SCOPUS databases (Keywords-TITLE-ABS-KEY "Millennials" AND TITLE-ABS-KEY "sustainability" AND "PUBYEAR > 2007"), topics related to Millennials and the different meanings of sustainability were also investigated.…”

Abstract:Evidence from several studies illustrates the different points of view through which sustainability and mountains have been studied over the years. Nowadays, interest in Millennials is increasing but no research has compared Millennials and sustainability in the mountain context. This study aims at defining sustainability with reference to Millennial perception of both winter and summer mountain sports. By analysing data gathered from a sample of 2292 Millennials (Piedmont area), the authors confirm their high degree of sensitivity towards sustainable issues and, above all, discover that there are differences in the sustainable perception Millennials have of both mountain winter and summer sports. More specifically, Millennial perception is deeply influenced by the place where they are used to living-mountains or cities-and by their gender. From a managerial point of view, results have direct implications on the administrators of mountain institutions who can implement appropriate initiatives in order to correctly sensitise Millennials towards mountain sports. Moreover, from a theoretical perspective, the study opens a new scenario on two important topics linked to sustainability, namely Millennials and mountain sports.

“…The paper illustrates the following: (1) the teaching of lowpower techniques, and the effectiveness of these techniques through realistic measurements based on FPGAs, using different educational FPGA boards or the EduPow board; (2) an assessment of this project, proving that the objectives of the low-power design lab have been achieved; and (3) experimental usage of the EduPow board, which shows that it is accepted by the students. Feedback from students indicates that they perceive the EduPow board as powerful, fast, accurate, easy to use, and helpful to reduce of user error.…”

This paper describes a project carried out at the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University to teach low-power digital design structures in a laboratory. Low-power design has become one of the most essential constraints in digital systems, especially in portable devices. For this purpose, low-power design is a topic addressed in electrical and computer curricula, but it also requires applications in a laboratory. Therefore, this project focuses on preparing students for current trends in low-power design by examining realistic applications of its basic theories and principles, either hands-on or remotely. The laboratory's experiments use a field programmable gate array (FPGA) as a design platform for implementing the students' digital designs. This contribution reports on our first experiences in teaching low-power design in the lab. This paper focuses on the educational impact on students regarding the following: (1) overall objectives in the laboratory, (2) experimental exercises with low-power techniques, and (3) using educational FPGA boards and the EduPow board. The EduPow board is a developed hands-on board at the Bonn-Rhein-SiegUniversity that is relatively specific on using various signal image-processing applications to directly observe the power dissipation of a student's digital algorithm. Our assessment of the low-power design lab shows that the requirements and objectives of this project are fairly well satisfied. In addition, students' feedback indicates that using the EduPow board is more attractive and motivational in their work.

To meet the demands for education, engineering curricula intend go beyond teaching technical knowledge. In addition to classic modules, our department considers sustainability subjects such as energy awareness. This paper describes the implementation of a teaching plan for energy-efficient design in hands-on labs and visualizes the possibilities to bring the methods of reducing power consumption closer to students and observe the size of the effects.
