WCCC drone training program continues making links to other schools.

“It is so great to see students at Warren County Technical School become so accomplished so quickly,” said Warren County Community College President Will Austin, who has been a champion for drone training at WarrenUAS and for that program’s support for WCTS. The program is providing students with an education that can lead them to jobs working with drones and to our program for specific certification or a two-year degree.”

Austin has led WarrenUAS’s collaboration with other institutions in the field, including the country's leading aeronautical university, Embry-Riddle, based in Daytona Beach, FL. The faculty and students are working together on projects ranging from law enforcement training to using drones to spot some 300,000 pythons living in the Everglades. 

WarrenUAS also has developed a unique collaborative relationship with Rutgers University to use drones to control extremely costly wildlife damage on farmland with even more accurate results.

In addition, Austin and his team at Warren are working with Delaware Valley University in nearby Doylestown, PA. This summer, the two have collaborated on programs that bring Delaware Valley’s agriculture program and the WarrenUAS drone expertise together to benefit the students on both campuses and the institutional knowledge on each.
