The BHU/DWS/3D Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (s/UAS) FAA Part 107 commercial Drone, and Virtual Reality and 3D Photogrammetry Certificates

Program Description

M-101-Drone s/UAS Pilot Training (75 Contact Hours)

Beulah Heights University, in partnership with DWS Drone School/3DAerialTec, managed by All Sourcing Group, offers one of the most comprehensive and consequential training and education aeronautics curriculum on small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (s/UAS) in the country, put together by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) commercial airline pilots who are also licensed FAA Part 107 commercial drone pilots, which purpose is designed to not only educate, but to enable and encourage students to learn the art and science of drone technology. This program is more than just getting a drone license. Students will gain vast knowledge in how they can apply what they learn to obtain careers in this growing $100 Billion industry through classroom instruction, drone simulation on the computer. The course includes a DJI Mavic 4 pro and loads of accessories from the world-wide leader in drone manufacturing to enable you to fly your drone in the field, with "hands-on" training with an instructor. This instruction and these materials offer the strategies and information to provide each student the in-depth training designed to create successful and proficient drone pilots. Students will also learn the rules, regulations, and laws, and in particular "Part 107", which is required by the Federal Aviation Administration for drone operations. Students must take the FAA Part 107 exam to obtain their commercial drone license.

Grade Evaluation:

Measurable Performance Objectives (MPO): Upon course completion the successful student will be capable of:

1. Exhibiting a thorough understanding of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

2. Having a thorough knowledge of the rules, regulations and laws, and in particular Part 107, of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with regard to drone operations.

3. Understanding the anatomy of a drone and the various drones currently on the market and what they can and cannot do.

4. Knowledge of the individual components of the drone, both vocabulary and function.

5. Understanding the UAV technology

6. Understanding the principles of flight including Newton’s Laws of Motion, Bernoulli’s Principle, air speed, gravity and other key topics to help understand flight of the drones.

7. Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM)

8. How to plan an s/UAV flight including pre and post flight procedures

9. Flight safety and assessment of conditions including weather, site issues and other obstructions.

10. Aerial photography and Videography and its concepts including learning about light, shutter speed, lens filters and drone positioning.

11. Creating a “story line” to their videos.

12. Editing their raw data to create a video

13. How to add music and narration to the video.

14. The world of 3-D mapping from the sky through Drone Deploy by creating and calculating measurements for a project.

15. The world of business and how to become a business-person as a drone operator by learning how to generate wealth, how to repair your credit, fix your credit report and increase your credit score, which entity is the best one to start a drone business, the tax benefits of starting your drone business, how to finance your drone business, how to contract with other s/UAS operators and drone businesses and what the legal clauses mean. Students will review a contract for hiring a business and one for their client.

16. How to fly a drone on a simulator.

17. How to fly a drone in the field.

18. Getting all the important links needed to operate your drone.

19. How to get a job as a drone operator.

20. Students will learn the fundamental concepts for photography and videography.  

21. You will learn about light, shutter speed, lens filters, and how to position yourself to get the right shot (light is crucial). 

22. You will be assigned a project for you to collect video and photos for an in-class project.  

23. Students will use their own video and photos to create a film simultaneously as they are instructed by a teacher step-by-step.  This will be a hands-on class and crucial lesson for the course. 

24.  In addition, you will learn the importance of a "storyline" in producing an efficient video from start to finish.
