Unmanned Systems
As approved by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education in 2014, the Unmanned Systems program is uniquely designed in collaboration with industry to facilitate the pipeling of human capital to operate, maintain, and support all operational aspects of unmanned systems including vehicles, communications networks, computer systems, and other infrastructure elements in support of operations, research, testing, and development.
Capabilities in unmanned systems (mobile robotics) provide new methods to address problems such as disaster response, crisis management, crop yield improvement, construction, and generally repetitive, dirty, or dangerous missions. In addition, industries such as entertainment, journalism, insurance, logistics, and many more see the use of unmanned systems as a competitive advantage for the future of their business.
The most important component in any unmanned system is the human element. The program provides professionals the opportunity to gain expertise needed for self-enrichment and to expand their professional roles in various technology positions in numerous applicable areas. Just as computer systems are used in every aspect of human life today, unmanned systems will eventually be embedded in every field and industry. Even though the program is viewed as a technology field, the B.S. course of studies incorporates activities that will provide extensive experiential learning and require students to communicate and collaborate on projects.
The program allows students to enter into the workforce as leaders in the areas of unmanned systems where they may apply their knowledge and skills to many areas of societal need, i.e. agriculture, border security, public safety, logistics, risk management, and many more. This program allows students to enter into the workforce with the knowledge and skills necessary to trained entry level professionals.
The program is designed to meet the needs of both active professionals and the highest academic integrity as possible. This program sets STATE on a level separate from other Indiana as the only major in Unmanned Systems in all categories. While other schools have engineering programs teaching their students how to design and build aerial vehicles, STATE teaches the entire life cycle and how to effectively apply unmanned systems.
