This 8-week course reinforces the basics of flying a drone, with particular attention to fundamentals, safety, and legal aspects. Photography and videography instruction, including rules of composition relative to this type of imagery, practice flight patterns, and troubleshooting aerial imagery problems, is presented along with composition and photographic/videographic technique and editing.

Coding and Robotics

AGTE 1033 CODING AND ROBOTICS I
This course provides an overview of electrical components including breadboards, batteries, LEDs, resistors, jumper wires, and switches; building series and parallel circuits; working with Raspberry Pi; and, writing code in Python.

AGTE 2034 CODING AND ROBOTICS II
This course provides guided practice in the use of electrical components, building circuits, working with Raspberry Pi, and writing code in Python, along with the complementary skills of reading schematics, troubleshooting, project planning, and multimeter use. Students will synthesize activities and knowledge base to build a fully programmable, mobile robot.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

AGTE 2022 INTRODUCTION TO GIS
This course introduces students to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and its applications to spatial data management as a tool. Overall topics include assessment of vector and raster systems, scale, resolution, map projection, coordinate systems, georeferencing, and GPS. Hands-on exposure to spatial analysis and modeling with GIS computer applications is provided during laboratory assignments.
