A synthesis paper about the uses of drones in the field of research of business of your choosing (i.e., water management, mining, military, infrastructure, etc.).
Paper Requirements:
Papers should be 5 pages long (1-1.15 spacing, times new roman, 12pt font), including figures.
Site references using MLA and APA citation formats.
A well-structured paper (i.e., smooth transitions within the paper, or listed chapters with titles):
A. The What and Who: Construct a hypothetical flight about and provide some background information regarding anyone who has used this type of technology before.
1. Introduction Section
2. Provide some background detail about the field of study and how the application has been used before.
3. Provide in detail, previous industries, or people where this has made a difference.
4. This is the section where you use references to make your points of emphasis.
