Scenario

AUM goes smart!

Smart Campus is defined as “a physical or digital environment in which humans and
technology-enabled systems interact to create more immersive and automated
experiences. Smart Campus is a term used to describe educational institutions that
use next-generation technologies woven seamlessly within a well-architected
infrastructure. This can enhance the campus experience and provide education in a
manner that all can access. It creates proactive interactions to foster positive
outcomes.

Through the “AUM goes smart” project, AUM invites students to come up with
fresh, creative, and innovative ideas that will contribute to the realization of the “AUM
goes smart” plan.

Objectives:

Provide ideas that will:

1. Improve student experiences.
2. Enhance campus safety.
3. Reduce operational costs.
4. Boost university reputation.
5. Reduce your carbon footprint.

You will need to decide on specific ideas (5 ideas) that are also practical and
realistic. To do that, you will need to go through a decision analysis process that will
help you decide which ideas will be the most effective.
Task 1: Brainstorm ideas that could help you achieve your objectives (you will
need a list of 10 ideas).
