Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Applicatons
60690 - 24 Credits
This certificate program provides both theoretical knowledge as well as practical hands-on skills in operation of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) and their applications. Through a sequence of courses, students will be prepared to take FAA107 Commercial Remote Pilot Exam. Practical training consists of comprehensive flight training on a flight simulator, followed by indoor obstacle flight labs and finally, outdoor flight missions on the most popular drone vehicles. Students will also be introduced to the concepts, techniques, and software tools used for aerial photo and video collection and production, autonomous flight modes and operations, photogrammetry in surveying, real estate, public safety, mining, agriculture, and other popular applications of small unmanned aircraft systems.
