Boise State’s drone operations certificate prepares students to work in industries from photography to videography to scientific data collection, bridging art, science and technical know-how. Students in the program learn flight skills, design and complete their own projects, and get licensed as drone pilots.
Megan Cattau, director of the drone operations certificate, and instructors Manuel Gómez-Navarro, Thomas Van Der Weide and Trevor Caughlin were joined by current graduate students in the program Sky Gennette, Jerry Mock and Teuku Zaldiansyah.
