The Associate of Unmanned Aerial Systems Engineering and Drone Technology) will be given the opportunity to be part of a market that is projected to reach 25.13 US billion by 2027, according to Fortune Business Insights. The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) that are the integral parts of the Unmanned Aerial System are improving every day with its internal computers that are controlled by pilots on the ground. Graduates of the program understand important concepts about Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles (drones) in relation to engineering, operation of UAS, rules and regulations, as well as to develop critical thinking skills. As part of the program, many students will choose to program, develop, design and explore drone technologies. A field that sees drones’ usage for personal as well as commercial purposes, the field is in its very early stages with huge potential. The program of Unmanned Areal Systems Engineering (UAV and Drone Technology) at AIU, is a distance learning program that will be tailor-made and designed exclusively for you, by you, and with your counselor. The flexibility to meet your needs is rarely found in any other distance learning program. Our program does not require that each student studies the same subjects and uses the same books and study materials as other students. Instead, our online Bachelor Programs are designed just for you. They are individually designed to meet your needs and help you achieve your professional and personal goals.
