Designing the Future from the Sky
The Future Kings Drone Engineering Program equips students with hands-on experience in aerospace technology, robotics, aviation safety, and unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
Students design, build, test, and deploy drones while learning how emerging aviation technologies impact industries such as public safety, mapping, logistics, and environmental science.
The Challenge
Drone technology is reshaping industries—but access to engineering tools, FAA knowledge, and real-world applications remains limited for students from underserved communities.
Without early exposure, students miss pathways into high-growth STEM careers.
The Solution
Future Kings Drone Engineering blends:
● Hands-on drone construction and flight
● CAD and 3D printing
● FAA safety and regulatory awareness
● Problem-solving through real-world scenarios
Students don’t just fly drones—they engineer solutions.
Program Pathway
From Curiosity to Discovery
Technical Foundations
Learners assemble drones, practice safety checks, and explore flight simulations.
Applied Engineering
Students design custom parts, analyze flight data, and troubleshoot performance.
Capstone Projects
Learners manage end-to-end drone projects aligned to real-world use cases.
Artificial Intelligence & Responsible Autonomy
As part of drone engineering projects, students explore AI-assisted tools for design, modeling, and data review. Instruction includes:
● Using AI to support flight planning, documentation, and analysis
● Understanding safety, privacy, and surveillance concerns
● Learning ethical limits of autonomous and semi-autonomous systems
Students are taught that advanced technology must be deployed safely, legally, and responsibly.
