CORPORATE PARTNERS

All UAS maintain partnerships with mainly commercial and industrial companies. These are generally regional firms. This close collaboration with the corporate sector fosters application-oriented research and encourages the development of practical solutions.


INSTRUCTORS WITH PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
