Atlantic Cape was awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for ourUnmanned Aircraft Systems Operation and Maintenance Education and Training Project. We offer degree and certificate programs as well as courses on sUAS operation program and drone maintenance.
Drones, or Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) is an emerging industry that is part of the future across all economic sectors — and our students are already out in the field leading the way. This rapid development in the industry is creating a growing need for drone technicians in the years to come.
Drone research, development and maintenance is perfectly suited for our relatively uncrowded local airspace in Atlantic & Cape May counties and our graduates are capable of attaining Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification. This new industry will bring opportunities across the economy with well-paying, year-round jobs.
