Carleton University\u2019s Faculty of Engineering and Design and NAV CANADA have teamed up to offer a joint Professional Short Course on uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly referred to as drones. The five-day course will be delivered at the NAV CENTRE facility in Cornwall, Ont., from June 20-24, 2016.<\/p>\n

A broad assortment of topics pertaining to both fixed wing and rotary UAVs will be covered, including in-depth analysis of flight principles, functionality, application, detection, tracking and more. Potential opportunities and risks related to drone use will also be discussed, along with current and pending policy and regulations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe use of UAVs is increasing exponentially worldwide as people explore opportunities in a variety of different fields,\u201d says Garry Brown, director of International Training Programs and Delivery for NAV CANADA. \u201cThis course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of issues from flight principles and propulsion systems to safety and government regulation concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n

Course instructors will include members of Carleton\u2019s Faculty of Engineering and Design, with additional expertise provided by NAV CANADA. Course participants will be presented with a Carleton University and NAV CANADA joint attendance certificate upon completion.<\/p>\n

An enrolment fee of $2,000 per participant (plus applicable taxes) will be collected by NAV CANADA, which helps covers the academic and ancillary costs of the course, including instructors, accommodation and meals, classroom space and use of simulators, simulator support resources and supplies. People interested in registering are invited to contact Katherine MacLean at 613-936-5006 orkatherine.maclean@navcentre.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This course is an example of the growing partnership between Carleton and NAV CANADA. In late 2015, an agreement was signed to work towards establishing an\u00a0Aerospace Centre of Excellence in Cornwall\u00a0that would integrate the expertise of NAV CANADA, the country\u2019s air navigation services provider, and Carleton, home of Canada\u2019s first Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering program.<\/p>\n
