Embry-Riddle Worldwide to offer free online drone operation course


Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's worldwide campus will once again offer a free, two-week massive open online course (MOOC) on drone operation called "Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Key Concepts for New Users."


Scheduled to run from Jan. 22 to Feb. 4, the open-to-all course covers everything new users need to know in order to safely operate personal drones. Participants will learn about equipment, airspace, legal requirements and flight planning tools, as well as how to step up to the next level and become commercial drone operators.

"We have had consistently great feedback about this course," said Dr. Kristy Kiernan, who is the lead educator for the class. "We are especially excited about the updates and changes we have made to reflect the most up-to-the-minute information in this rapidly changing part of aviation."

The instructors for the class include full-time Embry-Riddle faculty members and experts from the unmanned aircraft systems industry. Embry-Riddle has offered this MOOC annually since 2015.
"One of the strengths of this class, and of Embry-Riddle in general, is the partnership we have with industry," said Kiernan. "Our students get the best academic experience, plus the benefit of contact with real-world challenges."

Registration for the sUAS MOOC begins Dec. 11 on the worldwide campus website.

The next upcoming MOOC offered by Embry-Riddle Worldwide will be:
Aviation Maintenance (Feb. 26 to March 11) - A free, two-week course covers aircraft maintenance, inspections and how to effectively manage global challenges facing the industry. Participants will learn about the different types of maintenance and inspection classes, as well as how to integrate safety into daily operations, while also maintaining efficiency. Instructors for the class include full-time Embry-Riddle faculty members and experts from the aviation industry. Registration for the Aviation Maintenance MOOC begins Jan. 15.
