The unmanned aircraft systems
major prepares students for the fundamentals including maintenance,
customization, acquisition, and commercial use. Rather than building drones
from the ground up, students use products and adapt them to meet specific
needs. What You’ll Do As an unmanned aircraft systems major, you’ll understand
the concepts required to be a UAS professional including electronics,
mechanical design, and programming. Courses include programming, electrical and
electronic systems, mechanical operations, flight, drone design, sensing
systems, mission planning, regulations and safety. Gain a specialized knowledge
in UAS including flight, design, policy, and mission planning. Tailor the
program for you with specific application areas like agriculture, criminal
justice, geographic information systems, and automation. Work closely with
faculty who have industry experience to gain career-ready practical experience.
Unmanned Aircraft Systems graduates work in a wide variety of fields, ranging
from agriculture and delivery services to telecommunications and first
response, far exceeding their current primary use in military applications.
Examples of job titles include commercial drone pilot, instructor, drone system
operator, UAS engineer, and UAS technician.
