SailDrone Club – Elevating Innovation in the Skies

Student clubs - science & technology

The SailDrone Club at ECN is a science and technology-driven community dedicated to exploring, designing, and innovating with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones. Our mission is to empower students with the knowledge, hands-on skills, and confidence to work with drone technology across a wide range of real-world applications.

Activities

What We Do

  • Drone Design & Fabrication
    Members learn the complete process of building drones — from selecting components and assembling frames to integrating electronics and configuring flight controllers.
  • Drone Control & Flight Training
    We train students in flight operations, ensuring they understand essential piloting techniques and safe handling practices for different types of drones.
  • Workshops & Awareness Programs
    The club organizes regular training sessions, seminars, and hands-on workshops to help the ECN community develop both theoretical and practical knowledge in drone technology.
  • Legal Regulations & Safety Guidelines
    Students are also educated on aviation regulations, operational safety rules, and legal aspects of drone usage to ensure responsible and compliant flight activities.

Advanced Drone Projects

Members with strong interest and foundational understanding will have the opportunity to join specialized groups working on cutting-edge drone applications such as:

  • Surveillance & Security system
  • Environmental monitoring
  • Aerial Mapping & survey
  • Autonomous navigation
  • Search & Rescue Support Technolgies

These collaborative projects encourage innovation, technical growth, teamwork, and real engineering problem-solving experience.
