These days, drone inspections are being performed in almost every industry that requires visual inspections as part of its maintenance procedures. By using a drone to collect visual data on the condition of an asset, drone inspections help inspectors avoid having to place themselves in dangerous situations. Industries leading the implementation of UAVs are agriculture, energy (oil, gas, & electricity), civil engineering & construction, marine, and manufacturing. Let Continuing Education at Lake-Sumter State College support your career goals in the operation of UAVs.
