In addition to learning to fly drones; students will gain an understanding of how drones can be deployed for commercial use with an emphasis on drone deployment in agriculture.This year-and-a-half course will provide students with opportunities to perfect their flying; study career opportunities with drones; and gain the knowledge necessary to pass the FAA Unmanned Aircraft General test. Independent study of topics; collaboration as part of a drone team; and hands on flight experience will prepare students for the real world of drone operation and the beginning of a career in drones.
