ECSU Will Offer 4-Year Drone Degree

Elizabeth City State University opens up the drone courses as part of the four-year aviation degree. “We can train our students in all these areas and we want our graduates to be entrepreneurs,” said Professor Kuldeep Rawat, Director of the ECSU aviation science program.

The students in the UAV classes learn to operate and fly drones, interact with air traffic control and use different payloads and sensors. The university also plans to build an outdoor flying facility with a net, sort of like a giant batting cage.

As reported by the FAA, the industry could need more than 300000 new pilots in the next five years. Approximately half of the commercial drones are used in real estate photography and 17% for agricultural applications.

“Data is the new oil,” said Aron Bechiom, the unmanned aircraft lab technician at ECSU and a former Navy drone pilot.
