Drone Technology is designed to equip students with skills to build, repair, program, and operate drones (unmanned aerial systems) in accordance with FAA regulations. Operational knowledge of drones will be used in applications that simulate tasks and responsibilities found in associated career fields. Career and Technical Student Organizations are integral, co-curricular components of each career and technical education course.
