K-State Salina Faculty Write UAS Textbook
Kansas State University Salina is one of the few places in the country that offers a degree and certificate program in the new and growing field of unmanned aircraft systems, so finding textbooks for courses was a challenge.
The job market is wide open for students seeking careers in the field right now, said Josh Brungardt, director of the university's unmanned program.
"If a student wants to work for a manufacturer or military contractor and they're in the United States, they'll likely start out at $60,000-$65,000 right out of college," Brungardt said. "And if they want to do deployments and work for a contractor, they could earn up to $100,000 a year. It's a very lucrative career field for students."
