The Unmanned Aircraft Systems Technology (UAST) concentration is designed not only to give learners the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) as unmanned remote pilots, but also the knowledge and experience to fill roles in the technology aspect of the unmanned aircraft systems industry. UAST will be based on the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operations (UAS) concentration to provide learners with the knowledge and experiences for unmanned aircraft systems operations in the National Airspace System (NAS).
NOTE: All major courses, program accreditation, and/or Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) related coursework (physics, mathematics, and selected engineering technology courses) must be completed with a grade of C or better in order to graduate.
