Empowering Tomorrow’s Innovators Through drone education for colleges & Universities

AINautics is proud to collaborate with colleges and universities to offer top-tier commercial drone certification programs tailored to meet the demands of today’s evolving industries. By partnering with higher education institutions, we aim to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in the fast-growing field of drone technology. Our certification programs go beyond traditional classroom learning, providing hands-on training and real-world applications that prepare students for successful careers in commercial drone operation.

Through our partnerships with colleges and universities, we strive to bridge the gap between academia and industry, ensuring that students receive practical training that aligns with the latest advancements in drone technology. By integrating our expertise and resources with the academic framework of educational institutions, we create a dynamic learning environment that fosters innovation, creativity, and professional growth. Our goal is to empower the next generation of drone operators and professionals to thrive in a competitive market and make a meaningful impact in their respective fields.

At AINautics, we believe that education is the key to unlocking the full potential of drone technology and driving positive change across industries. By offering commercial drone certification programs in collaboration with colleges and universities, we are committed to shaping the future of aerial innovation and preparing students for exciting opportunities in the dynamic world of drones. Join us in this journey of discovery and exploration as we revolutionize the way we interact with the skies and make a difference in the world through the power of drone technology.

Course Objective:

We believe it is essential to educate scholars through an interdisciplinary curriculum containing real-world principles fused with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).

COURSE SEQUENCE
COURSE ONE, UAS100: PREP I – THEORY “UASCERTIFICATION PREP”

This course is an introduction that will provide the developmental history of drones, regulations, career outlook, ethical considerations, and a basic understanding of UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) operations.

COURSE TWO, UAS200: PREP II – APPLICATION “UAS ENGINEERING”
This course is a course that helps students understand the concept of drone-software alignment to solve real-world problems. Students will continue to develop their operations skills as they determine which UAS is appropriate for different scenarios or projects. The course projects require students to apply Crew Resource Management (CRM) concepts in a collaborative UAS team environment. This course will also introduce to the logbook, hands-on UASdesign  projects, flight operations, and flight simulation. By the end of the course, students will successfully prepared to take the FAA Part 107 Certification Exam with a Remote Pilot rating.
COURSE THREE, UAS300: PREP III – UASMAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Course three demonstrates how to apply engineering principles, computer science, and mathematical concepts to solve real-world problems using autonomous technology. Students will apply Pythagorean Theorem and programming languages such as Blocking Coding,  Python, or C++. This course contains up to (3) projects that include topics found in the courses Prep I and II. Students should be able to master the operational skills sets after a series of rigorous team scenarios.

COURSE FOUR, UAS400: PREP IV – ADVANCED UAS OPERATIONS/INTERN
Course four, the CAPSTONE course, prepares students for entry-level positions into the UASindustry by providing skills in small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) mission management using UAS platforms. Students will develop and conduct UASoperations similar to those commonly performed within the commercial UASindustry. The goal for Prep IV is to ensure students gain a minimum of 60 hours of (OJT) on the job training equivalent to academic course work credit.
