Sinclair Community College (Dayton, Ohio) and partners will fill a workforce need for data analysts working with data collected from remote sensors flown on unmanned aircraft. These individuals will be increasingly employed in the Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)/Geospatial Intelligence Systems (GIS) sectors. Fueling the demand for Aerial Sensing Data Analysts are technological advances and the affordability and higher resolution of UAS compared to manned-aircraft and satellites. This project will develop a competency-based, hybrid post-secondary certificate for a new Aerial Data Sensing Analyst program to increase preparedness for entry-level employment in UAS/GIS, provide post-secondary professional development related to recruiting and retaining underrepresented populations, and conduct outreach and orientation activities for high school teachers and students regarding UAS/GIS educational pathways.Due to an increasing number of civil and commercial applications for UAS/GIS methods, there is a growing demand for analysts who have the competencies needed to correct, calibrate, process, store, and analyze the numerous terabytes of data collected from UAS flight. This project will provide community college students an opportunity to master competencies in the growing field of UAS/GIS through the development of a new competency-based, online post-secondary certificate program, Aerial Sensing Data Analyst. The program also seeks to expand awareness of UAS/GIS careers and educational pathways among high school students and teachers, and increase the number of underserved students enrolled in targeted undergraduate programs, including military veterans who may have applicable prior experience for this growing commercial industry. In addition, the project will help advance understanding of how such competency-based certificate programs promote access to post-secondary opportunities, with attention to their influence on increasing recruitment and retention of students from underrepresented groups.

Sinclair社区学院（俄亥俄州代顿）和合作伙伴将满足劳动力需求，以便与从无人飞机上飞行的遥控传感器收集的数据一起工作。这些人将越来越多地在无人驾驶系统（UAS）/地理空间情报系统（GIS）部门中使用。与载人和卫星相比，加油对空中传感数据分析师的需求是技术的进步，UAS的负担能力和更高的分辨率。该项目将为新的空中数据传感分析师计划开发基于能力的，混合的上学证书，以增加在UAS/GIS中的入门级就业准备，提供与招募不足的人群相关的著名专业发展，并为高中教师和学生提供对UAS/GIS的专业申请的招聘和方向化的范围，以增加对UAS/GIS的申请，以提高UAS/GIS的范围。方法，对具有纠正，校准，处理，存储和分析从UAS飞行中收集的众多数据的分析师的分析师的需求日益增长。该项目将通过开发新的基于能力的，在线的大专证书计划，Aerial Sensing Data Analyst，为社区大学的学生提供一个掌握UAS/GIS不断增长领域的能力的机会。该计划还旨在扩大高中生和老师对UAS/GIS职业和教育途径的认识，并增加招生有针对性的本科课程的服务不足的学生人数，包括可能具有这种不断增长的商业行业经验的退伍军人。此外，该项目将有助于促进理解这种基于能力的证书计划如何促进上级机会的机会，并注意他们对增加代表性不足的群体的招聘和留住学生的影响。
