FOR 9-12 SCHOOLS, STEM,
AND CTE CLASSES

UAS SCHOLARS Curriculum is an interdisciplinary program sequenced into (4) courses to provide students an overall perspective of drone history, drone operations, computer science principles, and drone certification. It is also designed to prepare students for the industry with work-based learning, leadership and organizational skills, soft skills, and hands-on, real-world, and service-learning opportunities.

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.
COURSE LENGTH:
  • 18 hours per offering
  • 90-minute block
