Abstract

The curriculum “Architecture and Avionics of Drones” has been evaluated against international academic and professional standards, including UNESCO and DigCompEdu. It demonstrates strong relevance to current labor market needs, integrating emerging UAV technologies, GNSS systems, photogrammetry, and 3D data processing. Academic quality is high, with clearly formulated learning outcomes, well-structured content, and rigorous assessment methods. The program incorporates advanced hardware and software tools, such as Arduino, MEMS sensors, Pix4D, and Agisoft, reflecting a solid foundation in technological innovation. Opportunities exist to enhance innovation further through the integration of artificial intelligence and data fusion techniques. Inclusiveness is promoted through bilingual instruction, with recommendations to expand offerings in English for broader international accessibility. The curriculum aligns with TUNING principles, ensuring coherent correlation between competencies, learning outcomes, and assessment methods. Pedagogical approaches emphasize active learning, project-based activities, and interdisciplinary problem-solving. Suggested improvements include modules on UAV ethics, European regulations, AI applications, and structured evaluation rubrics to strengthen transparency and professional preparedness. Overall, the program provides a balanced, innovative, and internationally relevant educational experience, preparing students to operate responsibly and creatively in the UAV field.
