In the battle to adapt to and mitigate climate change caused by humans, most environmental engineers and climate scientists agree that cities are the front line. Due to the sheer density of their population, and the quantity of resources they consume, cities have the potential to most quickly and significantly affect—and be affected by—climate risks. They also have the ability to integrate climate resiliency into their plans for the future, according to environmental engineering professor Franco Montalto, PhD, who will direct a network of North American climate change researchers concerting their efforts via a new hub at Drexel University.

The challenge: Prove the practicality of a compact cube-shaped vehicle transforming into a drone, navigating to a particular destination and then dropping its payload at the targeted spot. Over the summer, three rising mechanical engineering sophomores in the Students Tackling Advanced Research (STAR) Scholars Program took on this ambitious task. The result is a prototype that shows promise in its early stages. So-called drop vehicles can be used to deliver food and medical care packages to war zones, online orders to front doors or ultimately, probes to outer space to explore planets.
