10 courses with the subject UAS, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
UAS 100Unmanned Aircraft Systems3
This course is an overview of various available unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and their role in the aviation industry. Instruction will provide a comprehensive overview of the capabilities, requirements, and business opportunities associated with the UAS industry. It covers the background and impact of UAS, the legislation and regulatory requirements, concerns and considerations, business opportunities for civilian applications, and the future of UAS.
This course will focus on the expanded use of UAS in the NAS along with the potential issues this surge in popularity may bring. Instruction will provide a comprehensive overview of the current regulations, the plan for integration, and the future implications.
Students learn the necessary knowledge for troubleshooting technical, electronic, and mechanical problems of UAS. Topics include: UAS maintenance, identification of system components, payloads, aircraft modification, part installation, hand-held ground control station maintenance, battery maintenance, radio frequency, basic soldering, safety inspections, test flights, software updates, record-keeping, and checklist writing.
This course will examine how sensors and payloads on UAS are used and will provide students with a broad familiarity of the many different sensors utilized. Topics in sensor applications include commercial, wildlife management, precision agriculture, and other usages. Future UAS sensor forecasts and applications as well as legal considerations will be discussed.
This course will introduce the student to the many tasks and functions UAS can be utilized for in public safety. Students will examine current trends and future opportunities to determine how UAS technology can save lives and property in times of need.
UAS 350LUAS Applications Lab1 (Design and Construction)3
This course will provide the students with the knowledge to build and test UAVs. Topics include: UAV platform, payload and component design, system integration and test and evaluation processes. Focus will be on design for reliability while always employing safety.
Students are exposed to various high-fidelity simulation platforms to learn how to fly different UASs in real life situations and provides the most realistic simulated flying experience in challenging physical and weather situations. The software will have the ability for customized solutions based on students’ training needs.
Students are introduced to aviation and UAS cyber security fundamentals, different types of malwares, cyber security breaches, and cyberattacks. They will learn how to identify weaknesses and vulnerabilities in the system, learn about risk assessment tools, and how to conduct a risk assessment of aviation systems.
UAS 400LUAS Applications Lab II (Precision Agriculture/Surveying)3
This course reviews the current state and future potential of UAS in precision agriculture and surveying. Students will learn about small UAS (sUAS) platforms for Precision Agriculture and surveying, sensors for Precision Agriculture, sensor data analysis, NDVI processing, software flight planning, and safety considerations. Hands-on lab activities using eBee Ag, Aeromapper EV2, and Robo Flight (RF) platform will take students through detail steps in deploying sUAS for Precision Agriculture and/or Survey Mapping applications.
Students are exposed to unmanned aerial photographic applications commonly utilized in commercial UAS operations. Students should be able to plan, implement and conduct a successful photo aerial survey mission. Emphasis is placed on safety, equipment selection, flying, and becoming licensed to use UAS for commercial purposes.
