The case analysis tool is useful in a way that allows a more
focus identification of real world issues related to UAS, and further narrowing
the scope down with in-depth analysis according to its true significance, methods
and recommendations. My topic involves the use of UASs in agriculture. Despite
UASs being used in many countries for such application, the technology has its
own pros and cons and further developments has to continue to make the
technology more robust and intelligent. The need for the case analysis to
encompass several of the module’s learning outcomes makes the literature
reviews even more interesting and enriching.
Being able to conduct such similar case analysis is
important to my work, which often involves embarking on projects that revolve around
technical problems in my workplace. Moreover, with the proliferation of current
UAS, and capstone module drawing near, the acquired skills through this tool
will be helpful foundation to build a useful case in the project as well as my
future endeavors in this field.
The sections requiring alternative actions and
recommendations can be a little confusing at the start. The case analysis
requires substantial amount of literature review to understand the topic, and
then to define a problem, and thereafter present proposed solutions. I think that
proposing solutions can be challenging if a problem or issue is not defined
properly in the first place. And having to start with an abstract and summary can
further make the case analysis more difficult. Perhaps it will be better for instructors to
provide a list of applicable issues relating to the module and learning
outcomes. In this way the learning that comes out of the case analysis can be
more focused to the module itself. The peer reviews are exceptionally useful for
knowledge sharing by allowing constructive feedback and suggestions that
sometimes will not surface if not reviewed by someone else.
