Subject: Project Progress

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 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.

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 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.

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.
