+# Sustainable Software Engineering 🌱
+Edition of 2023/24<br/>
+[MSc in Computer Science], [Delft University of Technology]
+
+
+**Sustainable Software Engineering** is an overarching discipline that addresses the long-term consequences of designing, building, and releasing a software project.
+By definition, sustainability covers five main perspectives: **environmental**, **social**, **individual**, economic, technical.
+This course focuses on the first three.
+
+![Sustainability Domains](./img/domains.svg){: style="display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto" width="260px" }
+
+Software Engineering (SE) has long addressed sustainability by **narrowing it down to economical and technical sustainability**.
+However, our society is facing major sustainability challenges that can no longer be overlooked by software engineers and computer scientists.
+It was estimated that, **by 2040, the ICT sector will contribute to 14% of the global carbon footprint**. Hence, environmental, social, and individual ought to be part of the equation when it comes to design, build, and release software systems.
+The problem is far from simple, but **we need expert computer scientists** to bring sustainability into the core values of the next generation of tech-leading organisations.
+
+This course covers a set of competencies needed to leverage sustainable software systems.
+It has a **strong component on Green SE**, covering techniques to measure and improve the energy-efficiency at any stage of the software lifecycle.
+Students learn **state-of-the-art practices on energy efficiency** and apply them in real software projects. Moreover, the course will cover core principles of **empirical software engineering**, and **social and individual sustainability**.

+
+## Assignments
+
+Below the description of each project.
+
+<!-- ### 🛠 **Project 1** Measuring Software Energy Consumption
+{: #project1}
+
+- Goal: Compare energy consumption in common software use cases.
+  - Examples:
+    - Different versions of the same app;
+      - Same use case but different apps
+      - Same version, same app, but different user settings (e.g., enable/disable GPU optimisation)
+      - Same version, same app, but different running environment
+- Blog-style report (markdown, approx 2500 words).
+  - Bonus if you can automate the experiment and there is a replication package.
+- Submission by pull request to the website. Instructions [here](/course_sustainableSE/2023/p1_measuring_software/).
+- **Weight in final grade**: 40%

+
+
+### 🛠 Project 2 – Hacking Sustainability
+
+- **Goal:** Solve a Sustainable Software Engineering problem.
+  - Identify/Describe 1 problem that should be fixed to help enabling sustainability in the software engineering industry/community.
+  - Propose a solution. It can be a tool, framework, guidelines, etc.
+  - Implement the solution.
+  - Validation. (Depending on the idea) (side note: the cancelled class was all about this)
+  - Dissemination/social impact. (Solution should be open source, welcome contributors, post on twitter, hacker news, reddit? Tool website?)
