CSM 8690 - Applied Applications of Unmanned Aircraft Systems

3 Credits (3 Contact Hours)
This course explores how data captured from small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), commonly referred to as drones, can be used to create high-quality 3D models and thermal inspections. Drone flight skills are primarily taught through computer simulation software, and at the end of the course, students have the skills and knowledge to operate a drone in national airspace to support their research or future profession. Students prepare to take the FAA Part 107 exam and have the option to earn their Remote Pilot Certificate. Students also complete the Airborne Public Safety Association (APSA) BPERP examination and have the option to earn their flight proficiency certification. This course is interdisciplinary and well suited for students interested in construction, architecture, civil engineering, communication, real estate, surveying, photography, law enforcement, wildlife, and agriculture. A background in construction is not required for this course.
