From the University of Huelva and with the cooperation of professors from the National Institute for Aerospace Technology (INTA), the University of Seville and the most important companies in the aeronautical sector, in 2016 a new edition of the Master's Degree in Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems (RPAS).
This Master's degree was created under the auspices of the CEUS projectCentre of Excellence for Medium and Large Unmanned Aerial Systems, located in Huelva, in the vicinity of the “El Arenosillo” Experimentation Centre (CEDEA, INTA), which is intended, in its design and development, to be one of the most advanced in the world and a benchmark at European level.
The main objective of the Master's is to train young university professionals, in all its facets design, research and development of RPAS, so that they can be integrated into non-segregated airspace.
During the first edition, which began last year and whose training phase is currently in progress, 30 students from eight technical and scientific specialties in various fields of engineering, physics and mathematics, have been able to acquire a unique and first class training to apply their knowledge in the aeronautical sector of medium and large unmanned aircraft, although their training also allows them to enter the sector of light unmanned aircraft (less than 25 kg).
Subsequently, students are developing their training phase in important companies in the aerospace sector, which have decided to support this exciting and innovative educational project: Airbus, Boeing, AERTEC Solutions, Ayesa, Altran, Alter Technology, Everis, INDRA, INTA, ISDEFE, SCR, Skylife, Win inertia, USOL, UTW... so far.
In the case of AERTEC Solutions, as of June 2016, students from the Master's programme will be joining the company for a four-month internship in the RPAS development department in Seville.
