This memo is dedicated to elaborate our methods of data collection used to interact with other TAMUQ
students opinions regarding our ongoing QDrones project.

Our team mainly carried out surveys to collect data through www.surveymonkey.com and built a survey
with carefully chosen questions to avoid biased and loaded questions. The decision to carry out a survey
was taken after a meeting during the first day of this week, 12th of March. The survey was not intended
to collect a lot of personal information like major, GPA and class classification; rather, the survey was
keen on understanding the peoples behavior towards the project and their reaction with the different
processes needed to make this project successful. Technical drone difficulties were not a major focus in
our survey as the common audience did not hold sufficient background or proficiency in this field to give
crucial feedback. Rather, the questions mainly revolved around the notion of drones and how the local
community at Qatar would receive such a service. The selection of questions took about a day for our
group to discuss and settle on and hence ended the 13th of March on that progress.

The survey was sent to all students at TAMUQ through Dr. Amy and managed to record 57 responses
which seemed to support our hypothesis toward peoples expectations of our project. Moreover, the
survey showed very positive results which would later be used to justify many decisions we have made
regarding our project. The days between the 13th to 15th March were dedicated to analyzing the
received information and to decide on which pieces of information were most important.

The next step that our group intends to take is to infograph the survey results in order to better ease the
inference process by our audience. Our intentions as of now are to mainly employ pie charts to illustrate
the various answer distribution and their implications. This progress is expected to take the following
two days until the end of the week.

If you have any further questions regarding our project progress or have any suggestions that you would
like us to consider, please feel free to e-mail any of our group members.
