Unity College is excited to now offer an online summer course that will teach you how to incorporate drones into your environmental research or business.
Course Description: How can the use of drones advance the ability to make informed decisions about our environment? What are the requirements to use drones legally in the National Airspace and become a certified drone pilot? How will this exponentially growing industry fare in the future? This course will investigate these questions and more. It will provide an opportunity to investigate drone use in multiple environmental disciplines and position students to pass the FAA Remote Pilot Certification test. It will also provide hands on training in mission planning, policies and procedures, drone flights and data post-processing. About the Instructor: Susan Bickford is the owner of New England UAV, a drone consulting company based out Rochester NH and also works as the Stewardship Coordinator/GIS Specialist at the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve in Wells, Maine.
