Construction Drone Professional Certificate
Being a member of the FAA's UAS-CTI program allows UTA's Department of Civil Engineering to train students using drones for construction applications. This is considered an important step in our drone education to enhance students' competitiveness upon their graduation as civil engineers, architectural engineers, and construction managers.
Started in Fall 2024, our certificate program is embedded in a technical elective course, CE/AREN/CM 4334 Drones and Advanced Construction Technology, offered in several undergraduate programs, including civil engineering, architectural engineering, and construction management in the Department of Civil Engineering. In this course, students are taught in the classroom to pass the FAA's Part 107 Exam to obtain a Remote Pilot License and are trained in the field to fly drones and use them for construction applications.
Certification Requirement
Enroll in CE/AREN/CM 4334 in Fall or Spring Semester
Register and pass the FAA's Part 107 Exam before the end of the semester
Complete a minimum of 15 hours of practical training (at least 10 sessions) during the semester
Complete two projects of construction applications before the end of the semester
Note:
The student must be actively enrolled in Civil Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or Construction Management program.
Training sessions, including workshops and flying sessions, offered by the Construction Drone Club will not satisfy the requirement.
