About
Dr. Tan Gan Hup is a forward-thinking educator and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of technology-enhanced learning, smart city innovation, and drone education. His most cited paper, "Tapping drone technology to acquire 21st century skills: A smart city approach" (2017, 6 citations), reflects his pioneering efforts to integrate emerging technologies into higher education curricula. In this exploratory reflection, Dr. Tan reports on his experience designing and teaching two novel courses—"Innovations for Asia's Smart Cities" and "Understanding Drone & Robotics Technology"—at an Asian university. These courses represent a multidisciplinary approach that bridges engineering, ethics, and urban planning, equipping students with critical 21st-century skills such as problem-solving, digital literacy, and ethical reasoning. His work is notable for its practical, hands-on methodology, demonstrating how drone technology can serve as a pedagogical tool to prepare learners for smart city challenges. Though his citation count is modest, Dr. Tan’s contributions are significant for their curricular innovation and relevance to Asia’s rapidly urbanizing contexts. His research offers a valuable blueprint for educators seeking to foster interdisciplinary, future-ready competencies through technology.
