Abstract
The development of degree courses specifically designed for aerospace engineers is described in relation to the change in needs of the industry since the demonstration of powered flight. The impact of two world wars and political decisions on the way universities have been able to meet the demand for graduates is discussed. The effect of these changes is examined in relation to the type of education received by current graduates compared with early courses.
