History of Aerospace Engineering

80 Years of Aerospace Engineering Education in the Netherlands

Aerospace engineering has a long history in the Netherlands in which Delft University of Technology and other institutes and companies play a vital role. Faculty staff members Gillian Saunders-Smits, Joris Melkert and Michiel Schuurman dived into the archives to find out more about this subject. In their book “80 Years of Aerospace Engineering Education in the Netherlands”, they describe the evolution of aerospace education in Dutch historical and economic context. This is the first English publication about Dutch aerospace education.

The publication of this book is available via TU Delft OPEN Publishing, both online and as a hardcopy.
