School of Science and Engineering
The doctoral program in Unmanned Aerial Systems Engineering (UAV and drone technology) provides students with the research and analytical tools necessary to understand unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
Graduates of the program will understand important concepts about unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) in relation to engineering, programming, UAS operation, standards and regulations, as well as to develop critical thinking skills.
Our program does not require each student to study the same subjects and use the same books and other learning materials as others. If you are a purpose-driven individual who wants to elevate your life and make a solid contribution to the world, then this doctoral program is for you.
