Yavapai College Department Of Aviation

Congrats to our Aviation MICTED (high school) student of the year. Rocco has been one of our best high school students by excelling in both UAS and ATC. Best of luck in your future endeavors!

"Rocco has by far been one of the best students to go through the MICTED aviation program. Mr. Smith excels in all of his courses by submitting all of his work on time and passing with all A’s. Not only that, but Rocco is also an extremely helpful classmate. He is always willing to help his peers when needed and even the instructor without a gripe. Another great thing Rocco does is bring a lot of energy to the class and always wears a great smile. He seems to always find a way to cheer me up with his positive attitude and great sense of humor. When it comes to his technical skills, I was most impressed by how quickly he learned to assemble drones in our build classes. Rocco managed to build one of his own drones from scratch, learn to fly it, and then rebuild it an additional 6 times. Lastly, I would like to mention that he is doing all of this while completing the early college program through BMHS/YC and will have an associate's degree by the end of this year. It’s been an absolute pleasure and privilege to teach this young man for the past two years. Best of luck, Rocco, and keep in touch!"

Shout out to Roy Thomas on building his own autonomous mapping drone from scratch for his final project in UAS 115. Pretty awesome

Take UAS classes here at YC with Spencer Coffin at The Chino Agriculture Center, then apply your knowledge as an agriculture scout for crop health, mapping fields, assessing irrigation and drainage, monitoring pests and disease, estimating yields, documenting growth over time, and making smarter, data-driven management decisions from the sky. Somebody needs to do it! Then start a business! Just saying!!!!!
