| Summary: | In the present study the origins of the aeronautics engineering education in Portugal are investigated, as well as the relations between the different initiatives that occurred in the beginning of the twentieth century. This paper aims at reporting the most relevant initiatives in Portugal and the actors involved. From 1963 to 1974 the Portuguese Air Force in together with a Portuguese University taught the first Aeronautics Engineering Military Degree at Portugal. In early 1990s two Portuguese Universities and the Portuguese Air Force started their Aerospace/Aeronautics Engineering Degrees teaching. In the 21st Century the Aerospace/Aeronautics Engineering courses at Portugal are connected with the most advanced Engineering Schools in Europe providing skills and competences integrating several disciplines. |
