to teach students the basic principles ofdrone aeronautics through laboratory programming.This course was designed by professors from Vaughn College of Aeronautics andTechnology for high school students who work on after-school and weekend programs duringthe school year or summer. In early 2021, the college applied for and was approved to offer acertificate program in UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) Designs, Applications and Operationsto college students by the Education Department of New York State. Later that year, thecollege also received a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to providetuition-free early higher education for high school students, allowing them to complete themajority of the credits in the UAS certificate

, we adapted the Draw-an-Engineer Test and utilizedan inductive coding scheme gathered from the research literature [13]-[14]. From the literature[14, we utilized an inductive coding consisting of three constructs: attributes, professions, andactivities. When coding for attributes, we considered perceived gender, collaboration, andself-identification. For profession, we coded the type of work depicted or described in thedrawing, e.g. designer, builder, train conductor, etc. Coding for activities involved taggingimages or words related to action, e.g. laboratory work, engineering design process, drawings,etc. The following section describes the implementation of the module and the results fromanalyzing the drawings.

Students worked onAutonomous Vehicle for four times (12 hours), Robotics modeling for five labs (15 hours), andeight labs for VEX Robot (24 hours). One of the challenging factors that we encountered wasfaculty involvement. Since the participating faculty already had a full teaching load during theSummer, it was difficult to arrange lab content in a way that was both meaningful and coherent.As a result, the program
