Opinions

For the second time I had the opportunity to participate as a teacher in the RPAS Master taught by the University of Huelva. It is very gratifying to see the attention and predisposition that the students have, in addition to the welcome that they give me every year.

Congratulations to the Master's Management team for the work you do, this year we are delighted to welcome two new graduates for their training period at AERTEC.

My name is Adrián Capilla Lozano, I am an industrial and automatic electronics engineer and member of the 4th edition of the Master of RPAS of medium and large size, which is taught in Huelva.

When I finished my undergraduate studies I thought I should continue my education and specialize in a field with a great future ahead. I was always attracted to aeronautics, new technologies and research in such an emerging and exciting sector as the world of UAVs, or RPAS, so I started looking for a Master's degree that was up to the task and I found the Master of RPAS at the University of Huelva, an eminently practical master, with a curriculum that addresses all fields of this technology, (aeronautics, renewable energy, electronics, design, navigation, certification and many more subjects), an unparalleled faculty, renewable energies, electronics, design, navigation, certification and many more subjects), an unparalleled faculty, since most of them are top professionals in their areas, and with many years of experience, this, coupled with the large number of teachers, provides in this master a wealth of knowledge that can not be obtained in any other master of its kind in Europe.

In its favor it has the collaboration of INTA (National Institute of Aerospace Technology) as well as the Experimentation Center of El Arenosillo (CEDEA) near Huelva where you will be able to perform many of the field classes that the Master offers, being able to learn from real operations of large RPAS and see first hand the latest equipment in this sector.

After graduating in Biology, my personal interest in UAVs and autonomous systems led me to find out about the offer of masters to specialize in this sector. I chose the master in RPAS of the University of Huelva for its integration in the RPAS sector in Spain, as well as for the quality of the teaching staff, both from the University of Seville and professionals with extensive experience in the sector.

I made the decision to enroll and move to Huelva to take the master's degree in October 2017. Today, April 2018 and about to finish the theoretical training I can say that it is a unique opportunity to get into this sector, even for students coming from other fields to engineering (as is my case), since in this master all the important concepts are collected and provides the necessary experience to develop a professional work.

As for professional opportunities, I have already signed an agreement with a company to complete the 400-hour training period, with the possibility of joining the company once the period is over. The master's degree does not guarantee you a contract, but it does offer the possibility of getting one on your own merits, placing you in the right place at the right time.
