UMassAir and its associated academic departments offer a variety of UAS-related courses both in traditional on-campus academic programs, through UMass’ University Without Walls (UWW), and through the UMass Transportation Center’s (UMTC) educational programming. We offer courses throughout the year — spring, summer and fall semesters — taught by professional UAS pilots and faculty with expertise in unoccupied aerial systems piloting and data processing.
Our overall educational goals are to teach students:
(1) the safe and appropriate use of UAS operation;
(2) the public policy issues surrounding UAS operation;
(3) data analysis of various data products produced with UASs including true color (RGB), multispectral and thermal sensing images of the environment; and
(4) emerging UAS developments in fields such as engineering, environmental science and public policy.
Students gain instruction and experience not just through class time, but through participating in UMassAir-affiliated research.
There are other courses offered at UMass Amherst that are relevant to UAS operations and data analysis such as:
