Courses

Provides an understanding of how Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are used to accomplish a variety of tasks in complex environments and how remote pilots apply UAS technology for commercial, scientific, and governmental purposes while respecting both physical and regulatory limitations. The course provides a foundation of professionalism and ethics applicable to remote pilots.

Provides an understanding of the capabilities and limitations of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) technologies to including the hardware and software configurations and gain a holistic view of concerns facing UAS integration into the National Airspace System.

Provides an understanding of limits and skills employed by remote pilots in identifying and mitigating errors. Human error and skills used to detect and stop errors during the day-to-day execution of remote pilot tasks are addressed. This course surveys the concepts of decision-making bias, stress, and methods for safely identifying and mitigating risk while making decisions.

Explains the wide variety of commercial applications of Unmanned Aircraft Systems and operating procedures to ensure a safe outcome for executing such applications. Students will model commercial scenarios to learn about Geographic Information Systems, aerial imaging and survey techniques, multispectral and LIDAR systems, agriculture, and other UAS mission types.

Focuses on the wide variety of commercial applications of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and operating procedures to ensure a safe outcome for executing such applications including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), aerial imaging and survey techniques, multispectral and Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging systems (LIDAR) agriculture, and other UAS mission types.
