Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering – a New Field of Study in the System of the Fields of Study in the Slovak Republic

Abstract

The contribution analyzes the reasons for the creation of a new field of study „AERONAUTICAL AND AEROSPACE ENGINEERING ", which was successfully included in the system of the fields of study in the SR in 2017. The new field of study was formed under the auspices of the Faculty of Aeronautics of the Technical University of Kosice as a response to the current requirements of the European labour market in the field of aeronautical and aerospace engineering. Responding to this requirement, the Faculty of Aeronautics of the Technical University of Kosice has the ambition to present a new study program "Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering“ and submit for accreditation in 2018. Successful accreditation of this study program will enable us to prepare new specialists being searched by the labour market, and thus contribute to the effort declared of the Slovak Republic to keep pace with technological development in Europe.
