Former METSA Grad Uses Engineering Skills in Career

Former METSA grad uses engineering skills in career he navigates with drones. Seth Bullis attended the Math, Engineering, Technology, and Science Academy (METSA) at R. L. Turner High School. During that time, he learned the essentials of engineering. The course of study continued for Bullis as he went on to study at Brookhaven College, earning an Associates degree in Geographic Information Science and Cartography. Bullis is now pursuing a 4-year degree and other GIS-related certifications at Texas A&M. While attending METSA, Bullis took part in a dual-credit course in GIS at Brookhaven College in 2013.

According to his professor, J. Scott Sires, Bullis demonstrated unique skills that set him apart from the average GIS student. Bullis has designed drones and used 3D printers to create various parts for his unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Bullis now works as a LiDAR Technician and Data Analyst at Dallas Aerial Surveys. While hoping to eventually work his way into the field of bathymetrics, a discipline that measures and maps the physical features of bodies of water, Bullis builds and repairs drones in his spare time. Read more about Bullis as in the Brookhaven College Courier.
