Through much discussion, it was recommended that the College pursue education and training in Unmanned Air Systems, particularly drones. Thus, a 21-credit-hour certificate has been created, in which six credit hours can be applied toward the Agriculture AAS degree. The certificate program is intended to provide an introduction to the growing field of small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The program will introduce individuals to the technical skills and regulatory laws necessary to safely and legally fly drones. Targeted individuals will include those looking to enter into one of the variety of employment opportunities related to UASs, as well as those individuals who already have experience flying UASs and are looking to improve their skill set for applicability in a current job, such as precision agriculture. As this is a quickly evolving field, an additional targeted audience will be entrepreneurs who are looking to create businesses uses with the technology. The College is fortunate to have two professors, Ryan Anderson and Richard Eichman, with experience flying Unmanned Air Systems. Recommendation: The administration recommends the Board approve the proposed Unmanned Air Systems Certificate, which will begin with ICCB approval in the FY 2019 academic year. 1AC   ! % I J m   ' ( {  # C f =ATlmn}~領 hY[hjlV hXU1hjlVhWz\hjlV5hzhjlV5 h EhjlV hThjlV hxhjlVhOThjlV5CJaJhQhjlV5hebhjlV5h^hjlV5h2hjlV5hjlV hjlV5>* hjlV5 hh{^601ABC  I J b  lm~ `gdjlV p^p`gdjlVgdjlV ^`gdjlV$a$gdjlV$a$gdjlV hjlVhqp5 hjlV5 hY[hjlVhjlV6&P1F:pZ/ =!"#$% s2 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@_HmH nH sH tH @`@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA D Default Paragraph FontRiR  Table Normal4 l4a (k (No List `$` a iEnvelope Address!@ &+D/^@ ^JF%F a iEnvelope Return CJ^JaJHH qp Balloon TextCJOJQJ^JaJj#j w Table Grid7:V0PK![Content_Types].xmlN0EH-J@%ǎǢ|ș$زULTB l,3;rØJB+$G]7O٭Vc:E3v@P~Ds |w<     8@0(  B S  ?+3@H4;" /7Q"3333""F -f0^`0o(.F -fZ6Ov\ L t~LW}ip?H()z#$?*.+N0+]2E5j7:B*;-<0j<@?C5CGofG-uGcwJfKoL9Ng*OwRSS[UVjlVXrOXl\{uabUbfa ij\jqpqr9{D{} (aMLeYfK[mgw>j0oMcNx0unwH@{^JmuEq*j |:{ j+o_h-%=w@zfi=@E,^"e@^"1%8u@Cj90QZi{^o_t>QBiL "@L @UnknownG.Cx Times New Roman5Symbol3. *Cx Arial5..[`)TahomaA$BCambria Math"qh\Z\ZJ'  !x243QHP ?qp2!xx W_ Sauk Valley Community CollegeSVCC dana.j.chacon Oh+'0  < H T `lt| Sauk Valley Community College̽ѡNormaldana.j.chacon2Microsoft Office Word@F#@˥v(@XvH@XvH՜.+,0 hp  ̽ѡ  Sauk Valley Community College Title  !"#%&'()*+./2Root Entry F0NyH1@1Table UWordDocument 8SummaryInformation(DocumentSummaryInformation8$MsoDataStore0NyH0NyH4TRIV45N1==20NyH0NyHItem PropertiesUCompObj r   F Microsoft Word 97-2003 Document MSWordDocWord.Document.89q
