Obtain a professional learning experience in the drone industry. This is a great opportunity for students to gain short-term work experience, to develop practical work skills and to explore careers. There is not a better way to get some entry-level exposure and to make industry connections.
This course is intended to prepare students to work with drones by building them from the base up. This course provides coverage of the maintenance, repair, performance measurement, and upgrade of sUAS platforms.
This course builds on the introductory operational concepts provided in the Manual Flight, Safety and Crew Resource Management Course. You will learn how to collect drone images and turn them into 3D maps, models and surveys.
This course is intended to provide beginning operational mission related concepts to remote pilots. At completion of this course, the student will be able to plan and implement small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) mission to collect data.
Explores the aesthetic principles of framing & movement for photographers & videographers. This course applies cinematography principles in photography & videography(frame rates, formate, composition, rule of thirds, symmetry, perspective, parallex) to sUAS operations.
This course is intended to prepare students for careers in law enforcement, public safety, FEMA infrastructure and fire/rescue. Learn aspects of mapping, safety & risk management, GPS vs. manual flight, thermal imaging, day/night operations and more.
