Launched in 2010, Northwestern Michigan College鈥檚 UAS program is the leading training center for drones in
the region with an impressive fleet of unmanned aircraft rivaling many universities.
Graduates work in agriculture, the inspection industry, even package delivery. The
training program also teaches drone piloting skills to law enforcement personnel,
land surveyors, utility line crews and others. The program recently received a workforce
development grant from the FAA to train 40 high school teachers in UAS fundamentals,
as well as equip each with a multi-rotor unit to use with their own students. UAS
Program Manager Tony Sauerbrey will explain it all.
