American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Preparing Aerospace Engineering Students for Career in UAV TechnologiesAbstractUnmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have potential of reducing human casualty and cost formany dull, dirty, and dangerous missions. UAVs are one of the fastest growing sectors ofAerospace Industry. However, there is a lack of professionals entering the workforce. There isalso a lack of students pursuing studies for graduate degrees in the UAV related areas. Thispaper talks about innovative projects and teaching practices designed to increase students’interest and involvement in UAV related projects. Many aspects of UAV technologies are not orcannot usually be taught in classroom
