The NSU RSST Undergraduate Certificate (18 hours – see course descriptions below) will provide education and training in the application of aerial, terrestrial, and underwater remote systems. By offering RSST as an undergraduate certificate, our students will have documentation of their experience in remote systems science and technology that can be added to their resumes, thereby enhancing their job prospects, and after they are hired, their knowledge of RSST will contribute to their career success.

Students in the program will learn how remote systems are currently employed in government, industry, and research. Legal aspects of remote systems operations and the responsibilities of the remote operator will be discussed. Students will gain knowledge and skill in remote operations and data processing through hands-on training and will apply their acquired skills in real-world applications in their respective majors. Those in the program will learn to effectively communicate the results of their endeavors to professional audiences and to the public.*

*The RSST Undergraduate Certificate will be an add-on for students in any major on campus, and several departments have offered to allow it to serve as a minor for their students, please check with your department.
