Mapping with Small Unmanned Aerial Systems

certificate

This certificate focuses on mapping using small Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) and the use of UASs as a geospatial data-acquisition tool. Well-suited for students studying geomatics, as well as disciplines which require high resolution geospatial information such as agriculture, forestry, wildlife management, mining, infrastructure planning and monitoring, and disaster management.

About this Program

Certificates must contain at least nine credits of coursework that are unique to that program out of all other certificates and minors.
