In the Aviation & Drone Technology program students learn the principles of flight, navigation, weather, aircraft design and construction. This program combines hands-on experience with theoretical knowledge, preparing students for a multitude of career opportunities in the rapidly evolving fields of aviation and drone technology.

Students will learn to fly and land drones, as well as demonstrate skills in ground school concepts. They will also learn the concepts of flight and the various factors (weather, wind, air pressure, etc.) that affect a pilot's work in the cockpit. Equipped with state-of-the-art flight simulators, the lab provides a safe and controlled environment for students to master the fundamentals of piloting.

In addition, a fleet of drones and a specialized flight cage with obstacle courses offer real-world flight experiences. Drone skills are currently used in a variety of industries including real estate, criminal investigations, sporting events, agriculture, architecture, and visual entertainment.

Whatever your pathway, whether it's employment, enrollment, or enlistment, the Aviation & Drone Technology program program will provide you the opportunities to reach your goals through valued industry certifications, exposure to our college partners, and taking advantage of our Work-Based Learning program.

This program opens doors to numerous career paths including engineering, aviation, coding, air traffic control, aircraft maintenance, and more. The emerging fields of drones and GIS technologies offer career opportunities in emergency response, agriculture, infrastructure inspection, and logistics.
