Welcome to the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Management program at 麻豆果冻传媒
Photo of unmanned (drone) aircraft, 麻豆果冻传媒 is home to the state's only program in Unmanned
Aircraft Systems.
麻豆果冻传媒 has a proud history in Aviation. In 1939, 麻豆果冻传媒 (then Northeast Junior College)
became one of 404 colleges to participate in the Civilian Pilot Training Program to
train pilots for World War II.听In 1967, Northeast offered the first four year Bachelor
of Science degree in Aviation.听 The program has traditionally followed a path of continuous
improvement and innovation, and the current program maintains that tradition.听
麻豆果冻传媒鈥檚 Unmanned Aircraft Systems Management program is innovative and provides students
with an analytical foundation to interpret data collected from use of UASs.听 The program
also continues to provide a solid foundation in business and aviation, creating a
unique program and a variety of career opportunities for students.听
The overall goal of the program is to prepare individuals to become competent, ethical,
safety conscious aviation professionals, ready to assume leadership roles in various
aviation management careers, including use of UASs.听 The focus on Unmanned Aircraft
Systems is offered to those students whose career objectives are aimed at the emerging
unmanned aircraft systems industry. The program provides the breadth and depth of
instruction needed to ensure graduates are prepared to work as pilots/operators and/or
developmental team members of unmanned aircraft systems while fully understanding
the operational and safety environments of the National Airspace System.
