Practical Pedagogy for Embedding Drone Technology into a Business and Computing Curriculum

This paper outlines the design of an undergraduate module in "Applied Drone Technology‟ to enhance student engagement and learning of a new technology within a business school curriculum. It focuses on the development strategy and issues the team encountered when trying to create something outside the usual core computing and business curriculum. Although there are barriers and issues to integrating drones into a curriculum, it can be accomplished with proper planning and a strategic vision. The result was a module that can be used by students in a business school, but with the capability of being used by students in other academic units.
