Drones have a wide range of real-world applications and thefull potential of these devices has yet to be explored by either industry or educators.Drones have an enormous capacity to engage students and facilitate classroom learning. Dronesoffer a challenging platform for existing engineering design modules where students facechallenges in electronics, control, programming and project management.However, one of the challenges facing educators is how to integrate drones within their courses ina meaningful way; so that UAVs are not viewed as mere toys, but as devices that
