Tomsk State University (TSU) will create a new educational program "Design and Management Technologies for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)." The training will provide an opportunity to understand the principles of unmanned systems operation and obtain a relevant specialty with further entry into the labor market. The UAS specialist training program will begin next year, the Ministry of Education and Science shared the news.
Enrollment in the new educational program will be conducted for two enlarged groups of the Faculty of Physics and Technology (FPT) and the Faculty of Innovative Technologies (FIT) - in the areas of "Ballistics and Hydroaerodynamics" and "Innovation Studies", respectively. In the first year, 20 people will be able to enroll in budget places at FPT, and 10 at FIT. The new program will contain three professional tracks. They are related not only to the physical management of UAS, but also to the management of the infrastructure of unmanned systems. Each of the tracks has its own leader, but they will work in collaboration.
The program format consists of three areas of training related to the infrastructure of drone systems and UAV control. Upon graduation, a student can acquire one of two specialties: a drone operator or a design engineer. The program format also involves assigning micro-qualifications to students.
Specialists who will be trained in the field of "Innovation Studies" will be able to work, including in the SPC, and manage projects - assemble teams and implement technologies. This is precisely what the competencies are aimed at - managers of science-intensive projects in the field of UAS.
The decision to create a new program for training UAS specialists was dictated by the growing demand for these professions. According to statistics from the RosNavyk platform for monitoring and analyzing in-demand professions, over the past six months alone, more than 1,000 vacancies have been identified in Russia for people who understand UAV systems.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that pilots for agro-drones will begin to be trained in universities of Stavropol in Russia.
