European Aerospace industry survey
This survey aims at identifying European aerospace industries needs in terms of knowledges and skills of graduated aerospace engineers in 3 to 5 years. The results will be exploited to better orientate the European aerospace engineering education and training programmes to answer the industry needs.

The survey consists of a list of 15 knowledges and 4 skills fields with simple checkboxes answers. For each knowledge and skill field please click on the level of importance that your company valuates for a graduated aerospace engineers (range of 4 answers from high to none).

This survey has been done in the frame of PERSEUS project which has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 640211. http://perseus-aerospace.eu/
