Students in this cutting-edge program will learn the knowledge and skills to work in the emerging uas (unmanned aerial systems) industry. Drones are changing the world around us from construction inspection to search and rescue and precision agriculture to photography. This career has many paths and students will earn the Federal Aviation Administration Part 107 remote pilot license to be a licensed uas pilot. Students will also learn gis (geographical information systems), mission planning, and UAS maintenance, repair, and modification. This program will take place in our unique take flight lab with a full indoor flying space and flight deck.
