CSTN 008 - Power Tools for Homeowners
Course Description:
This course introduces students to the most common portable and stationary tools used by Do-It-Yourselfers to complete general home repairs and renovations. The course will explain what each tool is specifically designed to do, their limitations, features to look for when purchasing them, how to set them up and maintain them, how to use them properly and safely, and how to maximize their usefulness.
Tools to be discussed:
- Table Saw/Blades
- Jig Saw/Blades
- Router and Laminate Trimmer
- Reciprocating Saw/Blades
- Brad Nailer/Compressor
- Circular Saw/Blades
- Compound Mitre Saw/Blades
- Belt Sander/Belts
- Random-Orbit Sander/Sanding Grit/Discs
Hands-on projects/activities include:
- Practicing the use of all tools covered in the course
- Changing a blade on a table saw, jig saw, reciprocating saw, portable power saw, and router (bits and collet)
- Tips for making useful jigs
- Constructing a basic but highly functional toolbox using the power tools covered in the course

GEOS 001 - Basic Mapping for UAVs
Course Description:
Basic Mapping for Mapping for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), also known as remotely piloted aerial systems (RPAS), introduces you to the mapping process for unmanned aerial systems (UAS). You’ll describe the components of a UAS, generate maps in ArcGIS Pro to support field operations and create UAS mission plans using Pix4DCapture. You’ll also use Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology to derive ground control points (GCPs), and you’ll process imagery using photogrammetry software. You’ll work with existing data as well as processing data you collect during field missions.
0 credits
Technical Requirements
This course requires that students have access to a drone which supports mission planning. We recommend DJI Spark or DJI Mavic Air.

GEOS 002 - Advanced Mapping for UAVs
Course Description:
Advanced Mapping for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also known as Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems (RPAS), builds upon knowledge gained from the Basic Mapping for UAVs course.
In this course, you will leverage skills to advance your UAV data knowledge and interpretation. You will learn to enhance your photogrammetric skills through the derivation of orthhophoto mosaics, Digital Terrain Models (DTM), Digital Elevation Models (DSM) and Digital Surface Models (DSM). This course will also expand your knowledge of surface development through the processing of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. A process comparison between the photogrammetry and LiDAR process and data will be used to generate additional products such as tree canopy models and volumetric calculations. Lastly, you will examine image processing using data derived from multi-spectral and hyper-spectral sensors.
