Precision Observation with Drones is an introductory course about the practical aspects of small-scale multirotor unmanned aerial system with a strong emphasis on quadcopters. The course aims at introducing the students to the new and evolving field of small multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles/Systems (UAV, UAS, Drones), their electrical and electronics subsystems, how they work, to size and build a small drone, add useful sensors, use the system for observing the physical and biological environment, and how to manage and process some of the most common data collected by drones.

Upon completing this course, the student should become familiar with small drone technology, be able to understand their potentials and limitations, add different sensors, collect and analyze data with the drones.

The course is aimed at all students with basic science and engineering knowledge and a desire to observe, remotely sense, and collect data about the natural environment with high precision.
