AirData UAV Sync App		Learn the fundamentals of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) including terminology, types of platforms, flight physics, and selection of UAS for specific needs and applicationsThere are 4 modules in this course:
*How can drones be used for good in environmental science? What types of data can scientists collect, and how should they go about collecting it using drones? Why should someone integrate drones into their existing career or pursue this field?
*This Duke Environment+ course serves as an introduction for anyone interested in learning more about drone use in the environmental sciences. No background knowledge in drones is assumed or necessary.
*Over the course of four weeks, you will discover the basics of drone use in the environmental sciences, including specific benefits of using drones for scientific research; types of drones and how they are used for different purposes and missions; and best research practices, including legal and ethical concerns. The final week of the course will help you get started on exploring different career paths that involve drones by introducing you to professionals working with this technology in the environmental sciences.
*By the end of the course, you should be better equipped to consider how to use drones for your own research interests, and you will be better prepared for the more in-depth Environment+ course sequence UAS Applicants and Operations in Environmental Science, should you decide to continue your studies.		Several courses available:
Become Pix4D certified on essential photogrammetry concepts, including data acquisition, measurements, editing, and visualization tasks or
Learn industry-specific and in-depth concepts		The drone course was developed to provide students with the best possible theoretical and practical experience. It brings together theoretical and practical information based on what the market needs most today. It is a completely structured course for anyone to learn, regardless of whether they have previous knowledge of drones or not. In addition, we have qualified professionals to support our students with any questions they may have during our group and individual mentoring sessions. Our individual mentoring process for those who want to start a business in this area, along with digital marketing, is also a way to develop students for the market, help them to obtain services and even formulate their first budgets.In the Introduction to ArcGIS Software Course, we consider that everyone present is having their first contacts with the program. By participating in this course, the student will be led in the process of initiating projects involving thematic mapping and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), through integration with geospatial databases to the production of a complete layout of the map for printing.
*In the part of the ArcGIS Software Intermediate and Advanced Use Course, the participant will learn about more complex features of the program for varied applications such as digital satellite image processing, Geostatistics, watershed delimitation, among several other topics.
