Integrating Drone Technology in Service Learning for Engineering Students

Abstract

Future engineers shall not only good at knowledge and technology but also good at other attributes such ethical, professional as well as managing people and emotion. Service learning is an effective education model to develop more holistic engineers. However, there is a lack of service learning framework that integrates technology, in order to achieve the acquisition of the above attributes. This paper describes how drone technology is disseminated by engineering students to the public through a service learning programme. Document analysis of the course information, project reports, and students’ reflections were employed in this study to identify the learning process and attributes developed by the students. the students went through 6 phases of service learning implementation. Results show that the service learning has enhanced the students’ learning, sense of responsibility, accountability, and international exposure. These are essential to develop good engineers in the future.

Automated Activity Scheduling Tools for Improving Learning and Evaluation of Cybersecurity Competencies in Computer Engineering Courses

“…In this graph, the vertices V(G) are the activities a i to be evaluated in the cybersecurity course (5); and the edges E(G) are restrictions e j between activities a i (6), i.e., incompatibility relations between activities that cannot be evaluated in the same time slot. In this context, two activities a i and a r are connected (are adjacent, using the graph theory terminology) through an edge e j = (a i , a r ) if those activities cannot be associated to the same time slot (7).…”

“…For example, in new proposals such as Flipped Classroom [2] or Research-based learning [3], in-person sessions consist of presentations, discussion, knowledge creation actions, and evaluation activities. In the context of engineering education, the most relevant methodologies are actually based on the 'Learning by Doing' paradigm [4], such as Project-based learning [5], challenge-based learning [6] or service learning [7]. In this paradigm, student learning and evaluation, are supported by a catalogue of creative activities, practices, and presentations aimed to work specific abilities and competencies through the definition and creation of tangible engineering products.…”

Flying Ad hoc Networks (FANET): Performance Evaluation of Topology Based Routing Protocols

“…Previously, FANETs are basic remotely controlled airplanes that have been primarily employed in military operations [5]. Nevertheless, in recent years, FANETs have been deployed in a growing variety of civil and commercial activities, including search and rescue [6], package delivery [7], traffic monitoring in smart cities [8], agriculture [9], engineering education [10], mobile drone in indoor localization [11] and disaster monitoring [12]. The application of FANET is depict in Figure 1.…”
