# The Challenge

Embark on an exciting learning journey, where we explore innovative and disruptive technologies, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Challenge Based Learning (CBL). This unique learning experience will equip you with valuable knowledge and skills, enabling you to make a difference in today's fast-paced world.

Innovative and disruptive technologies are transforming industries and societies in unprecedented ways. Throughout this module, we will examine various technologies with the potential to disrupt and innovate, understanding that predicting their impact is not always straightforward.

The United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals encompass a wide range of critical issues, from climate action to poverty reduction. By studying these goals, you will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges our world faces and identify the specific goal you want to focus on during this module.

Challenge Based Learning is a powerful educational framework that encourages learning through problem-solving and real-world applications. As you navigate through this module, you will be guided in the CBL process, selecting your topic and area of focus. Previous students have found this approach to be engaging and rewarding, as it allows them to tailor their learning experience to their interests. The assessment includes an assignment, digital project, development of an artefact and oral examination. 

Don't worry if some of these topics are new to you - this module is designed to be a transformative learning experience. You will be supported every step of the way, and you might just discover something new and inspiring.

Exploring Innovative and Disruptive Technologies

CA4108: Discover and Engage with the Future of Computing: Innovative and Disruptive Technologies Unveiled

**Climate Change and sustainability**  
The reality of climate change is imperative for societies to innovate and action solutions that can advance the world to a more sustainable future. Bringing digital technologies and sustainability goals together is logical, and necessary, and today Digital Twins are already having a radical impact on sustainability. By its nature, digital technologies are adaptable and responsive to innovation – but technology providers do not have a monopoly on ideas. This challenge seeks new ideas, and original thinking, to apply Digital Twin technologies to sustainability goals.  
  
**Digital Twins**  
Digital twins are virtual counterparts of tangible assets, providing real-time data, optimization, predictive analytics, and alerts. The significance of DT isn't confined to engineers or facility managers, it's equally valuable for end-users and property owners. A pivotal area where digital twin technology shows promise is in real-time sustainability monitoring.  
Digital Twins can significantly improve the design, construction, and operation of assets of all types. It can improve efficiency by monitoring performance in real-time, including carbon outputs. It is envisaged that Digital Twins should simulate entire systems or interlinked assets to simulate future effects of climate or citizen actions. They should enable society to do more with less, to utilise resources better, longer, and to recycle where replacement has been the norm, to align engineering data with reality, geospatial, IOT and other operational data. Utilising IoT data, Digital Twins should allow AI and machine learning to better analyse performance and improve efficiency.  
If the above is true – what are the opportunities yet unseen, what has not been envisaged, where are the next true innovations? Recognizing that there is often doubt and skepticism when innovation challenges long-held thinking, submissions should consider how societies can facilitate those who would otherwise be skeptical to be part of that change as data proliferation increasingly becomes more widespread and more important to the goals of optimal sustainability.

Member universities may require additional information from applicants. Please read the application information section carefully and include any extra required information in this section.
