PO12 feedback needed for better software design
decisions?
Q5. CO1 BL4 PO1, PO4, Identify an electronic device that you use 11-15 5

the device's energy consumption, meeting
your application requirements.

PO6, PO7, problems and impact of accumulating e-
PO8, PO9, waste and what measures you would
Q9 BL4 PO10, recommend to effectively address this issue. 5
CO1
PO12 Include an analysis of impact on human
health (of current and future generations),
the cost of disposal and the benefits of

PO1, PO4, Analyse and Discuss in what way should
PO6, PO7, standards currently under review by the
PO8, PO9, Energy Management Working Group be
Q10 CO3 BL4 PO10, extended or supplemented to provide 5
PO12 improved energy management functionality
as opposed to simply a definition of MIB
structures?
PO1, PO4,
Discuss how one can use social media, IT
PO6, PO7,
and the Internet to create awareness of
Q11 BL6 PO8, PO9, 5
CO1 environmental problems and promote green 26-30
PO10,
initiatives among individuals and
PO12 businesses.
Q12 CO3 BL6 PO1, PO4, Is it too big a task to begin to reorganize the 5
 PO6, PO7, network protocol stack and design of
PO8, PO9, protocols operating within it for improved
PO10, energy efficiency purposes given its
PO12 successful operation for 40 years since the
Internet was first established?
PO1, PO4,
PO6, PO7,
Is IT is more of a problem or a solution to
Q13 BL6 PO8, PO9, 5
CO1 environmental sustainability and sustainable
PO10,
development? Discuss.
PO12
31-35
PO1, PO4,
PO6, PO7,
Q14 BL4 PO8, PO19, Analyse and describe the key challenges in 5
CO2
PO10, managing data centre operations.
PO12

PO1, PO4, Some argue that the effort required to

PO6, PO7, implement energy-efficient methods in
Q15 BL2 PO8, PO9, software does not deliver sufficient return on 5
CO1
PO10, investment. Can energy efficiency be an
PO12 effective differentiator in software products?
Discuss. 36-40
PO1, PO4,
How can we guarantee performance while
PO6, PO7,
saving energy? For example, when using
Q16 BL2 PO8, PO9, 5
CO3 state transitioning, how can one ensure that
PO10,
the disk will be brought up to an active state
PO12 shortly before it is accessed? Discuss.
PO1, PO4,
In cloud or an environment with multiple
PO6, PO7,
replicas, how can we selectively shut down
Q17 BL2 PO8, PO9, 5
CO3 the power for some replicas to reduce the
PO10,
energy consumption without sacrificing the
