tools in manyaspects of the construction industry. Advances in battery technology with lithium polymer haveyielded flight times that are comparable to or exceed those offered by conventionally-fueledunits. Gas engines or turbines tend to require more adjustment, more maintenance and are noisyin operation. This operational noise unless counterbalanced out by construction equipmentoperations can be distracting to those on the jobsite. Requirements for care and maintenancewith engine or turbine units increase costs. Because of these considerations with fueled units,the industry with smaller units is moving to battery power.Costs And ChoicesGenerally contractors will want to spend from a few hundred dollars to several thousands ofdollars on UAVs

Engineering students must be exposed to the complex interactions, across manydisciplines, of real-world engineered systems. Teaching engineering and engineering-relatedcourses to undergraduates is an interesting and rewarding task. Graduates from engineeringprograms must not only be technologically capable, but they are also expected to exhibit real-world problem solving skills, be team oriented, be able to function in a multi-disciplinary
