About
Eugene K. B. Tan is a forward-thinking educator and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of higher education innovation, knowledge management (KM), and emerging technologies. His primary research areas focus on future-proofing curricula by integrating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and robotics into university teaching, with a strong emphasis on developing 21st-century skills within a smart city framework. Tan’s major contributions include pioneering the design and implementation of novel, multidisciplinary courses at Singapore Management University, such as “Understanding Drone & Robotics Technology” and “Innovations for Asia's Smart Cities.” These courses are framed not merely as technical electives but as strategic KM initiatives that prepare students for a tech-driven, urbanized future. His most cited work (14 citations) reports on this approach as a case study in institutional knowledge management, while an earlier exploratory paper (6 citations) reflects on the pedagogical experiences of teaching these subjects. Though his citation counts are modest, Tan’s impact is deeply practical and pedagogical; he is a hands-on innovator in curriculum design, directly shaping how students engage with drone technology, ethics, and smart city challenges. His work offers a replicable model for institutions seeking to bridge the gap between traditional academia and the demands of a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
