The Doctorate of Science in Unmanned Systems Engineering program at UVU has been fantastic, one of the most challenging and exciting curricula I have experienced. Not only do professors incorporate the latest cutting-edge online classroom teaching techniques, but I have direct access to the professors whom are some of the industry leaders in each of their respective fields. Moreover, these are among the most dedicated industry people in their own right, but they are even more dedicated and focused on providing me the student, the most current information pertaining to the UAS field as well as the affiliated technologies. I personally found every course to be engaging, while each professor created a sense of unity for their students despite being in different cities all over the world.
The course contents of Unmanned Vehicle University are well organized by professionals of the UAV industry. I recommend the course as continuous professional development study for engineers and industry practitioners.
My doctoral experience at UVU University was excellent. Interesting and challenging curriculum as well as high quality lectures and support from all University staff, made this journey worthwhile.
After graduation, I look forward to continue implementing acquired knowledge in development of swarm applications in geophysics with focus on subsea operations.
The DSc program teaches techniques and methods that are very specific to the unmanned system world of technologies. I would say this pushed my professional career in a way that my colleagues saw me as someone who strived to continuously improve. In addition, the education provided by the DSc program gives the broad knowledge necessary to maneuver in this rather new industry of unmanned systems. In a tech-driven company both criteria were necessary to improve my career. Today I am managing the entire product development team and the DSc program contributed greatly.
