Description
This compilation of student insights represents a curated selection from 34 individual submissions. Students were introduced to the SNIFFIRDRONE consortium and technology through the ATTRACT technology card. The reading focused on familiarizing oneself with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and “Engineering a More Sustainable World” from the UNESCO Engineering for Sustainable Development report. Students were asked to critically assess the features and opportunities of drone-based aerial monitoring technology in the context of a chosen SDG. They were tasked with imagining an application for this technology within their field of study or personal interest area, emphasizing its potential contributions to sustainable development. Emerging categories of application include air monitoring in various industrial contexts, monitoring cruise ships air impact, learning more about the air quality post-natural disaster, monitoring traffic as well as agricultural applications. Students also noted the key stakeholders that the consortium could consider collaborating with in future. 19 student stakeholder maps were submitted. These maps were collated to present the stakeholders in order of frequency, as well as a map of the top noted stakeholders.
