The document proposes a new master's track in engineering energy-aware software. The track would include four module types to embed sustainability into software engineering: project-based modules, centralized modules, elective modules, and a final project. The goal is to provide professionals and future generations with the skills to design energy-efficient software and ICT systems, in collaboration with industry.
