Students embody the need for the course. Without students who are willing to participate in Drone Innovation, the course might as well not exist. There must be a body of students which this will benefit - if that need is not clear, than support would be pointless and unattainable.</span></span></span>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Faculty, alumni, and community support are the means by which the need is fulfilled. Faculty would provide infrastructure and learning resources and the surrounding community (including professionals in the industry) would provide mentorship and technical expertise. Alumni would function as a source of funding on top of grants and institutional financing. They too, could step in as mentors, given that they can offer knowledge on the industry they work in.</span>
== Cost ==
Funds for a student -run course can be acquired in numerous ways however they are all directly dependant on specific situations in which the class will be held. Below is a list of funding sources:
#Grants.gov - a website providing grants for various programs and organizations
#Industry Donations - Various companies may provide training and products to familiarize students with current industry standards
The best way to request funds is to meet face to face with potential donors and explain how the class will benefit them as much as it will benefit the students. This will encourage the donations themselves as well as involvement from investors to ensure the success of the class.

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 14px;">This course would require leaders in the drone industry who have a strong understanding of the current technological capabilities of drones, as to provide a framework for students to pursue their ideas. Having these sorts of professionals creates a clear understanding of the limitations behind drones and their potential for growth when faced with real-world applications. Mentorship with these individuals would be vital in bringing student-led ideas to life.</span></span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 14px;">Such a course would require a professor(s) who can foster an environment that encourages creativity across multiple disciplines, but remains grounded in the reality of the available technology. This would be a professor(s) who is able to quickly adapt to the rapidly changing technological market, and as such, is constantly molding the curricculum curriculum to be just as cutting-edge as this market.</span></span>

It is important to develop new relationships with influential professors both young and experienced in order to have the volume of resources needed to start a new class. Developing these relationships gives student leaders the ability to understand the ins and outs of university policies. One of the most crucial policies to understand is timing.</div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br/></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Timing can become an obstacle if excitement supersedes&nbsp;planning. It is important to understand the amount of time that change can text within the university context. That may vary from campus to campus but should be something that leaders recognize may not follow a straight line. During these early stages, student leaders will develop a core group pf stakeholders as well. It is important to build this group of stakeholders as ou ramp up to launching your new initiative on campus.</div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br/></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Interdisciplinary course offerings require mutual empathy&nbsp;for students, professor, and support staff.
