Catalog Description
The program enables students to explore the wide array of types and applications of unmanned aircraft systems. Courses highlight specific characteristics of different aircraft systems and frameworks. Coursework allows students to explore how UAVs are built and engineered for different applications, and examines the fundamentals of unmanned vehicle control and propulsion systems. Students will explore and understand how unmanned aircraft systems integrate into the larger aviation system, and demonstrate command of applicable safety policies, regulations and automation procedures involved in operation of UAVs. The program elements can be tailored to meet the needs of individual students with or without prior experience operating unmanned aircraft systems. Upon completion of the program students will be prepared to become commercial Unmanned Aircraft System pilots, technicians and programmers in various industry sectors in a broad range of applications.
Program Outcomes:
The successful completion of each course in the certificate will be used to assess the following outcomes:
*Deploying and piloting of unmanned aircraft systems
*Managing flight control systems
*Collecting and analyzing telemetry data
*Programming autonomous flight missions
*Securely communicating with other aircraft
