Since the early days of Tesla operating a remote-controlled boat, DRONE have been used by the military, hobbyists, and companies. Only in the past few years has the FAA required that DRONE operators for non-personal use be certified as commercial pilots. Professor Anthony Choi and John Granich determined early on that education would play a key role in the drone certification process. It would provide a path to standardize how operators are trained. Based on their discussions with a Putman County High School they conducted a two semester COI that not only certified 13 high school students, but also provided them with a basic understanding of how DRONE collect and process data. This COI is designed on the foundation of that COI.
