Last week, New Visions: Emergency Preparedness, Informatics, Cyber, and Homeland Security (EPICH) students met with Dr. Peris, a visiting assistant professor at UAlbany's College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security, and Cybersecurity where their program is hosted. Dr. Peris shared his background with students, introduced career pathways utilizing drones, and helped students kick off their capstone drone project with a demonstration. Students wrapped up the day by visiting Dr. Best, another UAlbany Assistant Professor, in the motion sensor lab. We can't wait to learn more about how the students utilize drones this year for their capstone project!
