The success story of Simon Spruytte
“Hands-on oefeningen en voldoende theoretische kennis”
Als landmeter maak ik regelmatig gebruik van drones om moeilijk bereikbare plaatsen op te meten. Dankzij het postgraduaat Unmanned Aircraft Systems ben ik mee met de nieuwste trends en technologie. De lessen worden gevarieerd aangepakt. We kregen zowel hands on oefeningen als voldoende theoretische kennis.
