Program Code: UASAI.S.STC • Credit Hours: 23
Description
This short-term certificate in Artificial Intelligence (AI)/ Autonomous Systems, which is fully embedded within the Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Unmanned Aerial Systems, gives the student the in-depth knowledge they need to transform large amounts of data into actionable decisions. The program and its curriculum focus on how complex inputs - such as vision, sensor data, robotics, and huge databases - can be used to make decisions or enhance human capabilities. The curriculum includes coursework in aviation technology, computer science, math and statistics, robotics, computational modeling, machine learning and symbolic computation. The program includes courses from the Aviation Technology, Computer Information Systems (CIS), and Mathematics Departments.
Career Opportunities
AI / ML Scientist and Engineers rank among the top emerging jobs, their roles have grown over 650% since 2012. Job growth in the next decade is expected to outstrip growth during the previous decade, creating 11.5M jobs by 2026, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Based on the assets, capabilities, and resources focused on UAS / AVT technologies, the Dayton region and the State of Ohio are in a unique position to further secure their status as a destination of choice for this expertise. The region continues to transition from automotive/heavy manufacturing to high growth industries integral to UAS / AVT including sensors, robotics, advanced data analytics and management, and advanced materials and manufacturing. The Dayton Development Coalition and the State of Ohio are dedicating significant resources to support growth related to UAS / AVT. Building upon the leadership role that Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is taking in UAS, coupled with Ohio’s aviation heritage and strong aerospace industry, Sinclair’s UAS program will continue to benefit the students, institution, and the region. And will further strengthen the regional capabilities related to UAS / AVT and advance their commercial integration at the local, state, and national levels.
